Championships do not have the importance they used to have in the times when we had 9-10 chess programs worldwide. It is nice to go to Tel Aviv, Iceland, Torino, see the cities and listen to the conferences about what is new in the computer chess field.

Not me if it is not UCI/Winboard and meet some other criteria also. >would you buy an engine that did not win in a competition ? Yes, I would buy them but they already fail on the first criterium. They are not UCI/Winboard. Michael
