Michael,

As far as I think, CM6000, MChessPro7 , Corel Chess(not strong enough for this
tournement!) and Crafty 16.4 are 'American' whilst Rebel 10, Hiarcs 7 , Fritz
5.32 and Nimzo 98, for instance, are 'European'. The possibility of going simply
to SSDF ranking is one I am also considering. Thanks.

Tomas.
