Marc, I understand your dedication for Fruit, since you are now
a member of Fruits team, but I see no reason for this somehow
aggressive and demanding tone towards Anthony?

No one _needs_ to play in any tourney. Actually any program which
is able to run at WBEC is automatically included.

Chessbase only programs (just 3!) simply don't support other
protocols except CB and they just don't care (regrettably) for
users who don't like their GUI, or are in favour of a neutral GUI.
This will probably never change, as long as they sell enough
of their products.

Zappa will be there, if it is ready, it is that simple.
It is of course Anthonys matter only, if he prefers
tourneys with multi CPUs allowed.

Regards,
Guenther
