I think you guys should give Zappa some credit. It has been by far the most prepared of all involved. It is using good hardware and an excellent book suited to its style of play. I still think Shredder is a much stronger engine in the long run, but in this tournament Zappa deserves to win. Brazil is the strongest football team in the world, but they don't necessarily win every world cup. It is about peaking at the right time before a tourney. Everyone (on this forum at least) knows that winning the wccc doesnt mean you have the stongest engine. But winning is winning and Zappa should be congratulated.
