Just because a program is good at tournament time control, doesn't mean that it's the best program for correspondance chess. So that reason doesn't work either. Even though the use of computer programs are allowed (because it's impossible to control) I consider it to be equal to cheating. AFAIK most serious correspondance players don't use computers. >part of the users use chess programs to play one against another and they prefer >better programs. That's another very lame reason. Doesn't justify using time, effort and money on the kind of tournaments you suggest. >The ssdf tournaments are in order to give users information and there are many >tournaments that private people do and they give the users information. > >I do not expect these tournaments to stop. SSDF don't conduct tournaments, but it's a good service. There's no need to develop inconclusive and uninteresting tournaments to replace their testing. >My last idea about tournaments when only small programs like TSCP can play is >not to give the user information but can encourage humans to agree to play >against programs because they know that they have chances. They can do that at home. Just download WinBoard and a couple of programs. Sounds like grasping at straws. Best wishes... Mogens
