I don't know. The question still stands, IMHO. I was strongly >opposed to having two crafty's in the 1996 WMCCC in Jakarta. I am just as >strongly opposed to having two of anything else in a computer chess event. chessica is an old program and quest has faster hardware. I believe that chessica has almost no chance to win and participates only for the target of even number of players. It was better to play with another program but practically I do not count chessica as a participant(if there are 2 crafties in the same tournament I count as crafty only the new program with the best hardware).
