Hello Uri,

I have looked at the rating list of "Leo Dijksman", "Movei" stands approximately
on a level with "Little Goliath" there.  I will parallel test Movei with "Little
Goliath". This would be approximately in three weeks. I use a short test for it.
The short test works so:

To, in future, find possible new candidates faster who shows a sufficient
playing strength for the qualification into the CSS-computer rating list new
engines will unite short test undergone for the time being. The test candidate
plays all 10 opening specification positions against all engines put in the
current rating list after the following scheme:

a.) opening specification positions 1-3 against the engines of rank 1-8
b.) opening specification positions 4-6 against the engines of rank 9-16
c.) opening specification positions 7-10 against the engines of rank 17-24

After this scheme a test run arises with altogether 168 games. This should reach
to a first playing strength assessment.  The candidate reaches a score in the
area of the engine put on rank 25 becomes the test continual, otherwise a
demolition is carried out.  The results of the candidate are listed at
demolition in the "eternal rating list".


Therefore, if you still publish a more current engine within the next 3 weeks,
then I would like to test the newer one of course.

You also can send me an e-mail. You find my address here:
