Come on guys.....
Only 59 votes so far by maybe 300-500 possible voices.

Should i pay 50 euro for each voting ? :lol:

Best,
Daniel
I have never seen a poll done where all relevant voters, cast a vote, only a small fraction. Odd isn't it? I mean they don't even have to go to a polling station. :o

Yes, 50 euro would attract everyone. Too bad governments don't give incentives :wink:

The question is weather or not it plays better than 1%. Nobody here seem to think that Deep Sjeng can win the first place, it can come in the top 3 that on a good day.

everything is possible in a small tournament.

Fully agree Torsten !

I think that's the main problem of the most people. They are just looking to the rating lists. They don't given much attension that it is only one game each opponent with completly different books and much stronger hardware and software (version/mostly).
In this case Rybka isn't the 100% favorite, but i guess Vas learned this last year already.

I believe that Sjeng is stronger as his 1% too.

Best,
Daniel

You forget that people did not vote about probability.

You can get even no voters for deep sjeng
If all agree that probabilities to win the event are:
1)35% for Rybka
2)15% for shredder
3)15% for zappa
4)10% for loop
5)10% for sjeng
6)5% for gridchess
7)5% for the king
8)4% for Jonny.
9)1% for other programs(diep isichess,baron,micromax)
