Definition of the WCCC:  Each person gets 1000 cubic meters of space.  They can
put any non-human arrangement of atoms in that space they want, as long as it
has a way to accept chess positions and output chess moves.  WCCC is the
ultimate.  It is intended to measure the absolute best chess playing machines
that man can build against each other.  There is no reason to handicap anyone,
hence the open hardware.

I can completely understand the feeling of losing to superior hardware.  At CCT,
I got blown out by Crafty twice in two tiebreaks.  Crafty actually had more like
a 5:1 (4x2.2 : 1.8) advantage, and things like that are even worse at blitz.
But I didn't complain (well, a little bit about the openings ;)
