1.Zappa
2.Fruit
3.Shredder
4.Rybka

I guess that shredder is going to use more than one processor and together with
better book it is going to be enough to score more than rybka.

rybka has the disadvantage of being too known so it may be easier for opponents
to prepare against it.

I expect preperation of sandro against fruit to fail because of significant
improvements in fruit so I guess Fruit is going to be number 2 and not Shredder.

Maybe I am too optimistic about fruit but my guess is that Fruit Paderborn is
going to be 100 elo better than the commercial version.

I hope fruit can win the tournament but unfortunately I am not optimistic that
100 elo improvement are going to be enough to take the first place from zappa.
