that's true but you could at least ask. A successful participation in WCCC04
will work as a recommendation. More important I think is to send them a
ready-to-copy version, which will work flawless in the Chessbase-Environment so
they don't have to bother with special settings and work. If you decide to go
commercial (Arena?) they may find it even more important to test your engine.
