Hello,

I´m not a fool, I know the testing procedure and I know that it´s good to
play versus H6 because he has played so many games before.

But I, and I´m sure very much other people, are interested in seeing actual
games (fast hardware and good programs as Fritz 3, H7, J5 and so on). This is
interesting. Not boring matches versus P90 or Fritz 3 or next time maybe Fritz 1
or Mephisto I?

By the way, also a match new program against predecessor says nothing even if
the predecessor has 10.000 rated games, because most programs are tuned against
itself. So a 20-3 win for example of H7-H6 says nothing about the overall
strength. As you see, Shredder3 beats the predecessor Shredder 2 clearly and it
must be much stronger. Unfortunately Shredder 2 gains much more points  as the
new version against H7!! What does this say to us...?

So I think a match CM6000-H6 on P200 is much more interesting than a match on
P90. And H6 on P200 has enough games for a clear rating. And what does a little
bit of rating oscillation during the testing procedure matter?

But I´m sure the swedes will test all on P200. Maybe in 5 years...

I don´t want to hurt anybody, I´m only tired to boring results.

Marcus
