For the SSDF rating list to have credibility, Rebel 8 and 9 must be tested at full strength with each program's full opening book. Now whether this means retesting hundreds of games, are just a few, I believe that the SSDF list will have no validity until proper testing is done. Again, whose error this is does not matter in the least; please just correct the error in the next SSDF list. My $.02, Bela
