I do not understand that excuse. By that excuse Shredder should now decide also not to play because if hydra does not play as a top favourite they only can lose. Hydra is also not commercial so I see nothing that they can lose by participating in WCCC. As mentioned by Frederic Friedel >(chessbase) in a recent interview, fritz seems no longer in the mood to play >other computers but humans. It's a pity. Another poor excuse. Not having money or not having a good program is a better excuse not to participate. Uri
