Subject: I think that woodpusher is the surprise of the tournament

A program that scored less than 50% in paris 1997 and also used the slow P4 got
better place than a new program like CrazyBishop(Crazybishop that played in the
tournament is significantly better than the public version thanks to better
search).

Woodpusher drew with isichess and with Jonny that had superior hardware when
these programs drew with Junior.

I understood from the programmer of woodpusher that woodpusher is even not
compiled with a good compiler(only visual c++ 5).

The only change that he did for the tournament is changing the contempt factor
in order to teach woodpusher to like a draw(draw is evaluated by woodpusher as 1
pawn advantage).
