I suspect they were no shows. Be interesting to see what would happen if Toga had qualified. 1) Is Toga allowed to enter? 2) who is is the programmer of Toga who must attend?

there was a version of Toga more than a year ago by Teemu P. ->
Toga CMLX (and Toga 960) ...but as far as I know, it never worked properly.
(i.e. would often crash after castling)...

IMHO, there is no known version of Toga that can play chess960...?!
(i.e. one that can accept and understand all the different castling moves....)

Hi Engin-

what do you mean 'loby'?

there was version of Toga more than a year ago by Teemu P. ->
Toga CMLX...but as far as I know, it never worked properly.
(i.e. would often crash after castling)...

INHO, there is no known version of Toga that can play chess960...?!
(i.e. one that can avcept and understand the castling moves....)
I thought this was supposed to be a 2 day event? With only 2 weeks notice I had to work tomorrow(Sunday) but if I had known it was only a 1 day event possibly could have entered Hiarcs today. However not sure why I should have to play Rybka in this prelim - and would want to know that the Toga at least complied with GPL.

Yes great result but why was Rybka in the pre-lim when it is already invited to Mainz?!
