Hi Uri,

to be very pedantic we could even do that, because we still do not have enough
work with all the other things and statistics :-). In CEGT 1 and 2 we had by the
way comparison between Pentium CPU from Christian and my Athlons and pointed out
the differences for each engine. But now one showed any interest and so it was
dropped. It may be that the Crafty benchmark is not too exact when comparing
with Axxon. One favours the AMD CPU´s the other the Pentium. To be too pedantic
makes things too complicated and too many discussions and rules decrease the fun
testers are having.

There will be a lot of comparisons done by Kirill whenever he has the time to do
so. He is fairly new and already added enormous efforts and good things like
comparison Bayesian ELO and EloStat or the very useful table showing performance
and number of games for each match, as well as download per engine and day. We
can expect more from  him in the future, but he is a busy man like most of the
CEGT testers.

Best Regards
Heinz
