Kind of ironic if chessbase captures control of WCCC (as well as all the commercial software) and turns into a secret chessbase basement tournament. I guess the reality of ICGA getting any sponsorship for WCCC makes them pretty much a puppet of anyone willing to pay, since I imagine that sponser are not beating a path to their door. Or maybe I am too wrong?
