I was simply pointing out that getting all the >commercial programs into a tournament hasn't happened in a long time, to the >best of my knowledge. There was a long-standing tradition that the 'last >winner' didn't play in the next tournament, for example. I do not know about this tradition Junior won WMCCC and it did not stop to play in tournaments. Fritz won WCCC and it did not stop to play in tournaments. Both programs played in the last wccc. You are right that part of the commercial did not play in tournaments but they had to pay more money to play relative to the amatures. playing in an online tourney at ICC is more easy(you do not have to travel and you do not have to pay a lot of money) so I expect more commercial to play.
