They are strong
I expect an amateur program to win the WCCC

commercial programs have no advantage.
The oppopsite is truth.

It is more easy to prepare against the commercial programs because you can buy
them when you cannot get amatuer programs if they are not free.

I think that the amateur Dark thought is better than the commercial programs.

Amatuer program won many tournaments in the past.

We also have some amatuer programs that can use parallel machines when
commercial programs cannot do it.
