I still do not get why wait to release them, you know there are people here who
would be willing and able to test these settings against other Chessmaster
settings and other programs. It will be stupid to play games in tournaments and
say the settings only to have other people test them and find very different
results.

What is the point of hiding them, if you can tell me that then I would be happy,
there are many settings being tested, and building these up to something I think
a immediate release would be better so the more the merrier in testing.

I have got the kasparov personity to beat shredder2, so playing these settings
against other programs, say 5 or so games, means nothing. release them so we can
get down to some serious testing, adding to both of yours tests.
