For once i feel you are correct Uri.

In any case, we can see it ourselves.

paderborn is from 27-30 december.

participants:
  Zappa
  Shredder
  Diep
  Hydra
  Baron?
  Gandalf?
  Quark?
  Yace?
  Matador?
  Isichess?
  and others i might forget who hopefully show up. 16 participants.

I didn't hear whether fritz shows up this year, usually they do show up.
However i feel fritz is so outdated by now in engine play strength that it will
be a tough decision for them to join or not join.
