You claimed in the beginning: "Omid claims to have the second strongest engine, so that would make the SSDF list go: Shredder, Falcon, Diep, Junior, Fritz...?" My point is that if it needs the Fritz8 book to do it then it is not going to be the ssdf list. I am also more interested in tests without books but when you talk about the ssdf list you should talk about what the ssdf does and not about what you would like to see. Uri
