But you must see it this way: why they should want to do this test? Or they could try with an unknown first beta. But you know, Sandro, if they were so eager to research what is really the truth we hadn't the actual debate at all. We have it indeed because these test founders and the innocent users simply dont get what is going on in the basics of such position tests. For these people I wrote my summary. What can I do else? But I can't put up with some "power" like the German CSS journal and message board team. They give the users something to have fun with and I can only prove that it might allow fun but such a test has no test qualities because its results are either already known or not reliable in case of new engines. The many users miss that the engine they can buy is already optimized and adapted to "perfect" playing strength...
