But IMHO the title "World Championship" deserves qualified but not arbitrary choosen participants by commercial interests, at least for the programs. Seems, as they made the contract, Brutus/Hydra was still chessbase. So the chessbase team excluding Shredder is now a chessbase/pal-group team. What about an "ICGA Author vs Machine World Chess Team Championship"? Diepeveen/Zwanzger/Mayer-Kahlen against (or with) Jonny/Shredder/Diep ;-) (not playing against own programs?) Gerd
