Is it so difficult to understand? The games YOU downloaded, are they played
under the SSDF conditions? Here they are:
- 2 PCs
- permanent brain ON
- engine opening book -> no draw book, no "Kurzbuch" etc.
- time control 40 moves in 120 minutes then 20 moves in 60 minutes and so on

No, they are NOT. What you have is a collection of Utzingers games, maybe with
CM 9000_Utz12n and/or CM 9000_SKR. Then some games from Markus Pillen with CM
9000_Pillen. Maybe some more by Chessfun with CM 9000_Chessfun or CM 9000_Morphy
etc etc. And you think you can throw them into SSDF? Those games are played
- with different opening books
- on ONE PC
- wihtout permanent brain
- time control maximum 40 moves in 40 minutes IIRC

So if you still say "throw the games into the SSDF list" there are only 4 words
left to say.
