Other programmers voted for not mixing political issues with sports or were more or less conform with the [[ICCA]] point of view.

The field of participants was dominated by 12 German entries, but only one Dutch, which was the program [[Fritz]] of the German [[ChessBase]] company, by [[Frans Morsch]] from The Netherlands and [[Mathias Feist]] from Germany. This matter of fact may be caused by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_authority Appeal to authority] and Netherlands former relations to Indonesia and pronounced sensibility about the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suharto Suharto] regime and symptoms of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism Antisemitism] associated by the de facto ban of the Junior team due to their nationality <ref>The Board of the [[ICCA]] ('''1996''').

=On the Ground=
[[FILE:AstonAtriumJakartaBallRoom.jpg|border|right|thumb|link=http://www.asiatraveltips.com/AstonAtriumJakarta.shtml|Jakarta Ball Room in former Dai-Ichi <ref>[http://www.asiatraveltips.com/AstonAtriumJakarta.shtml Aston Atrium Jakarta Hotel]</ref> ]]

The tournament circumstances were kind of tremendous: The subsidized accommodation in the class hotel Dai-Ichi (now Aston Atrium <ref>[http://www.asiatraveltips.com/AstonAtriumJakarta.shtml Aston Atrium Jakarta Hotel]</ref> ) - where also the opening ceremony with Indonesian Minister of Education and Culture, [https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardiman_Djojonegoro Wardiman Djojonegoro] <ref>[http://www.seameo.org/vl/library/dlwelcome/photogallery/president/wardiman.htm Prof. Dr. Ing. Wardiman Djojonegoro]</ref> and Rector of the Gunadarma University, Prof. [https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universitas_Gunadarma E. S. Margianti] <ref>[http://rea.uz/in-english/news/detailed/?id=1242 Academy news — Visit of Gunadarma University delegation]</ref> , took place - was quite luxurious. All participants received Batik shirts as gift and had personal hosts from the university, not to mention the sponsored flights for a (limited) number of participants, the excursion to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogor Bogor], the excellent food between rounds, and closing dinner and whatever else. A minor drawback was the organized bus transfer between the hotel and playing hall. While the buildings, specially the playing hall was well air-conditioned, the bus was not and sauna like. With the consequence that most participants catches a cold from the second day. During the tournament there was a huge local press and TV-coverage. For security, police or military staff was aboard at the entrance of the tournament hall in the modern and comfortable university building where the tournament took place. The price award ceremony was accomplished by ICCA President [[Tony Marsland]], Rector Prof. E. S. Margianti, and Minister of Public Housing, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akbar_Tanjung Akbar Tanjung].

=Experience is a Hard Teacher=
==Gunda-1 and Crafty==
A point of criticism and a negative precedence was the concession of the [[ICCA]] to let the host's program [[Gunda-1]] of the Gunadarma University participate. It was a [[Clones|clone]] of [[Crafty]], which also participated as well <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/e74b3901f1faf33b# WMCCC Jakarta information] by [[Robert Hyatt]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 8, 1996</ref> <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56112&start=202 Re: FIDE Ethics Commission ruling on ICGA/Rybka complaint] by [[Robert Hyatt]], [[CCC]], May 04, 2015</ref>. On the players meeting it was agreed, that Crafty had to play Gunda-1 in the first round as proposed by the TD - to avoid possible later issues if it turned out, both programs may fight for the title. Also, no other program should play both. Gunda-1 won that game against Crafty and finally both programs finished 4th (Crafty) and 5th. Crafty had a strong tournament and won some nice games with 4. Bc4 instead of 4. Ba4 in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruy_Lopez Ruy Lopez] <ref>[http://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=124111 Re: The Crafty variation of the Ruy Lopez] by [[Robert Hyatt]], [[CCC]], August 12, 2000</ref>, which apparently threw most opponents out of book.
<span id="Operators"></span>
==Operators==
Other issues were related to unexperienced operators, not member of the programmers team, which caused Tournament Director [[Jaap van den Herik]] to do a lot of hard work and decisions almost each round. Another problem was the missing ability to produce valid [[Portable Game Notation|PGN]] by various programs. The most time consuming case was the [[Heureka]] versus [[Schach|Schach 3.0]] [[Heureka#HeurekaSchach|game in round 8]], where around move 40 one got aware the external and internal board position in Schach 3.0 was divergent due to an operator error a few moves before (unfortunately the chess boards had no coordinates). On the other side, due to an [[En passant|en passant]] capture, Heureka was not able to take back the moves or even to start from any arbitrary position, but had to reenter the whole game - which was a bit error-prone due to interface issues and had to be done at least twice until the game could continue.

==Amateurs vs. Professionals==
The distinction between professionals and amateurs was justified to encourage hobbyists in participation and to reflect the commercial value of the title for the professional programmers likely associated with companies. However, after the "golden age" of [[Dedicated Chess Computers|dedicated chess computers]] the distinction became more difficult and the rule applied by the [[ICCA]] was a kind of ambivalent due to the definition of a relative income of 25 per cent from computer chess.

Engines like [[Nimzo]] and [[IsiChess]] were already commercial. Their authors affirmed their relative and absolute low income from selling their programs, which was generously accepted by the ICCA officials. Other possibly semi professional authors, who observed a below 25 per cent income, were considered full professionals by the ICCA. That was true for [[Marc-François Baudot]] and [[Jean-Christophe Weill]] with [[Virtual Chess]] <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/c233e9971bef020d WMCCC standings after round 10] by Hornets, [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 12, 1996, see post 16 by [[Marc-François Baudot]], October 15, 1996</ref> , and [[Chris Whittington]] with [[Chess System Tal]] and associated with [[Oxford Softworks]], who developed and traded not only chess programs but other strategic games as well.


Quotes from ''Experience is a Hard Teacher'' by ICCA President [[Tony Marsland]] <ref>[[Tony Marsland]] ('''1996'''). ''[http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~tony/ICCA/hard.html Experience is a Hard Teacher]''. [[ICGA Journal#19_4|ICCA Journal, Vol. 19, No. 4]]</ref> :
In the past, applicants specified their program's category, competing for the Manufacturer's Title, the Professional Title or the Amateur Title. Now with sponsorship money and the provision of travel grants to some participants, times are changing. Naturally, the professionals had not been eligible for support (although it was after all their fees that were partly providing the grants), nor could the ICCA give financial incentives to professionals, since this might be construed as an endorsement of their product!

These conditions have led to an increasing number of participants requesting entry into the competition as amateurs. But the question of who is an amateur and who is a professional has no clear answer. For some amateurs there is unanimous agreement. Similarly, there is virtual unanimity that companies engaged in writing chess programs for sale should have their entries regarded as professional, even for a new program not yet marketed. However, there are many circumstances lying in a grey area between. For example: amateurs who offered a previous program for sale, but obtained little income from it. Or a programmer who works for a company making commercial chess software, but makes a living developing accounting packages. People are likely to have differing opinions about these cases. In the end the decision lies with the group charged with assessing the qualifications of the applicants. As with similar situations elsewhere the decision of the reviewers must be final and must be accepted with good grace. Basically the applicant makes the case and the reviewers give a judgement.

=Shredder's First Title=
The tournament was an 11 round [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_system_tournament#Accelerated_pairings accelerated swiss system] <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/b72ba8d89427d445 WMCCC / Jakarta information] by [[Robert Hyatt]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 10, 1996</ref> , the first three rounds were paired from two disjoint groups. The 14th WMCCC was the first victory of [[Stefan Meyer-Kahlen|Stefan Meyer-Kahlen's]] [[Shredder]], with half a point ahead of [[Bruce Moreland|Bruce Moreland's]] [[Ferret]]. Shredder lost against the unbeaten Ferret in round 8, but Ferret made too many draws and got unlucky second place finisher. Ferret's win of the [https://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/tournament.php?id=160 Blitz Title] was a slight compensation though. [[Virtual Chess]] as sixth, won the title of the Professional World Microcomputer Chess Champion after a playoff against [[Fritz]], since the leading five programs were all (still) amateurs.
