Hi,

>1. Do you think there will be Co-champions or a single winner?

co-champions, very close field IMO

>2. Who do you think has the best chance to win?

Yace -> Dieter was always well prepared for CCTs...

>3. Which country has the best chance of winning?

Well, when I bet on Yace I must also bet on Germany, I think... or is this kind
of a team score ?!

>4. What do you think the score of the winner will be?

7.5 of 9

>5. Which engine in the top 10 has the best chance of finishing in the bottom
>half?

I think none will end that deep, maybe Chepla...

> 6. Which engine in the bottom half has the best chance of finishing in the
> top 10?

The Butcher

> 7. Which engine pair do you think will win the Brilliancy prize, and who
> will be on the winning side?

Yace - SOS -> SOS will fully outsearch Yace by a couple of plys but this all
will not help in the endgame where Yace will make some fantastic moves to
finally win

>8. Which author will write the most lines to channel 64?

Well, I really wonder why so many think that this could be me ? When I am even
not operating ?!
Hmmm... if not participating authors are allowed here I would bet on Vincent ->
if he is just a quarter of an hour online during the tourney he will write more
then all others together... :) Else I would chose Anthony Cozzie -> he will tell
us the hole tourney how bad his program is... even when it wins... :)


Greets, Thomas
