Which probably donated hardware and software for exactly this reason,
at least to the key SSDF decision makers. How convenent, right for
the Christmas shopping season. Even without this latest blatant
blunder, if you read the SSDF response to the complaints about using
the CB proprietary autoplayer it becomes clear who is it really that
SSDF serves. If doctors can be bought by pharmaceutical companies
with few days of vacations in resorts and cruise ships, why couldn't
be chess players with fast computers and chess software. (After all,
chess players don't make an integrity oath and on average make less
than doctors, so statistically they ought to be easier to buy and
would cost less to stay bought.)

SSDF has really gone overboard with the corruption in the latest
several lists. The time is ripe for a new CC evaluation group to
rise and serve the chess playing public.
