 It's a single tournament just like the Wch. We can just register which
 program won this or that tourney - not much more. They have very little
 influence commersially. Furthermore - many programs play with non-commercial
 books which means that you get a different package when purchasing, so...
 Also in these tourneys the hardware differ greatly.

 Most OTB players use Fritz for analyses and might switch to f.e. Fritz/Rybka
 if the latter continues to develop as we hope.

 Some corr-players use several programs - but overall I think they are
 in a clear minority.
