I can understand your situation, but you put out a list in which alot of programmers refer to on their web sites for their chess programs to show how strong their programs are compared to the other programs on the market. I have also seen SSDF referred to in magazines when chess programs are advertised. But personally even knowing your situation after you explained it, I would be unhappy knowing that I am puttng out a list knowing that the rankings are incomplete. It is just like me going and selecting programs that fit my criteria and saying, "okay this program I rank as the best, with the criteria I set". Yes SSDF does a great job in what they have, but I am just sad that there is no way to get some sort of indication of ranking for this program on your list. If I had the time I would try and get a few games played manually with chessmaster and send them in, but alas I do not. It is just an unfortunate situation that chessmaster can pull of some great games and we can post them and say wow what a move or game, and in the end we are still blind as to how it rates against other programs. All round it is sad that SSDF cannot get a ranking for this program and that Mindscape will not put and autoplayer into the program. Regards Micheal
