However between having an engine that's no longer under development (Zappa) squeezed to get an extra 80 ELO (which is very impressive, don't get me wrong), and your previous claim of Rybka's current reign ending, there's still quite a gap ;)

First or second week of December might have helped participation a lot.
For me at least this scheduling is a showstopper.
