Rebel has expressly forbidden the SSDF from publishing test results gained by using their program. Apparently you were not aware of this. Chessmaster does not have any autoplayer interface, and therefore Chessmaster is orders of magnitude more difficult to test. Would you like to sit down and manually enter all the moves for hundreds of games? Apparently you were not aware of that. Is Chess Tiger even commercially available in Sweden? The only place I could get it is as an engine for Rebel (which expressly forbids testing). For Shredder, I do not know why that one was not chosen yet. Perhaps none of the SSDF members has purchased a copy. I will bet that if you buy them one they will test it. ;-) > As a former assistant >prosecutor, I can assure you that there is sufficient, credible circumstantial >evidence to raise doubt as to the honesty of the swedish organization. I hope you never prosecute me. I am sure you would see all kinds of evil. I suppose that is the job of a prosecutor, but I would like to believe that they still have a mind to be fair. >And do remember the old adage, " where there's smoke, there's fire." I smell something burning. Does not smell like SSDF smoke though.
