Predict CCT 12 Winner. Select one engine

Engine names are copied from http://cctchess.com/participants.html at the time

Poll options are limited so had to remove many engines

According to the site, the tournament date will be 'February 20-21, 2010'. So the poll is set to run for 4 days

My heart and allegiance want me to pick Shredder! I love that engine and GUI.

Sjeng seems like it might have some new tricks!

I can't pick Komodo because it always goofs up in my Shredder GUI so I can't like it until it becomes more useful to me.

Junior is crazy ( i love playing against it) and I would love to see it win.

BUT Hiarcs has been silent...VERY silent and so something tells me that it might have something up it's sleeve!

[Graham Banks]

I'll go with reliable Shredder, but Sjeng could surprise.

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto]

No votes for Thinker? It's quite strong.

Komodo - if they improved it as the same pace as they were and have SMP, it's going to be a massive opponent.

Shredder - always dangerous and well prepared.

Junior - always stronger in tournaments, but will it be enough?

And Sjeng...you'll see

I'm a distributed memory aficionado, so I have to go with Sjeng on 80-128 cores. Whoever voted for Daydreamer, your confidence is inspiring but probably not yet deserved.

I voted for Daydreamer !

Lyrics to Daydreamer :

Daydreamer, sittin’ on the seat
Soaking up the sun he is a
Real lover, makin’ up the past and feeling up his girl like he’s never felt her figure before
A jaw dropper
Looks good when he when he walks, he is the subject of their talk
He would be hard to chase, but good to catch and he could change the world with his hands behind his back, Oh…

You can find him sittin’ on your doorstep
Waiting for the surprise
It will feel like he’s been there for hours
And you can tell that he’ll be there for life

Daydreamer, with eyes that make you melt
He lends his coat for shelter because he’s there for you when he shouldn’t be
But he stays all the same, waits for you and then sees you through
There’s no way I could describe him
All I say is, just what I’m hoping for

But I will find him sittin’ on my doorstep
Waiting for the surprise
It will feel like he’s been there for hours
And I can tell he’ll be there for life

I voted Shredder, mostly because it's the strongest engine in there by like ~100 points (last I checked CCRL [yesterday ] it was something like that), but Sjeng has a monster hardware advantage.....
