Personally I don't think a single commercial entrant will be in CCT7.

Even though Gandalf, Rebel, ChessTiger, Ruffian all work within the Chesspartner
interface and can kibitz, I don't expect them to enter.

The class of freeware engines has gained to much ground and the fear that they
will be throttled in a game or two will keep them away.

This _exact_ conversation happened on ICC last night.
