Perhaps another good rule would be that operators do not declare Rybka the winner before the tournament starts? Why is Rybka not part of your poll?

Poll allows only 10 options. I would have entered "Rybka" instead of "Other" but that would be unfair to many engines that could surprise us. Like LearningLemming, Pandix, Arasan, BugChess, The Baron etc...

Probability that Rybka ends up 2nd, 3rd... is far lesser than the probability that engines in "other" section finishes 4,5,6 placings. Your opinion maybe different from mine. I've just entered "Rybka" as one of the options in a poll at Rybka forum because that forum allows 20 options for a poll...

Swami you win my posts have been deleted. This thread has been totally hacked by a mod. I accept that you are more valuable to CCC than I so I will not be back. Good Luck to all here and do not forget to check on the Pocket Hiarcs result tonight. Look out also for Iphone Hiarcs which is released very soon.

[Graham Banks]

I'll go for:

Hiarcs
Deep Sjeng
Thinker
Stockfish
Twisted Logic

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto]

I'm not able to attend so Deep Sjeng will run on a normal machine, not the cluster.
