I can only shake my head. look : ssdf published results that are not played out on the base of a fair competition. the results have been influenced by the autoplayer device. millennium company has nothing against a fair competition. if the ssdf e.g. would (as they have done over the years with the dedicated machines) test by hand, nobody would complain. but they use the chessbase autoplayer device. the results of this device differ from the device other companies use. therefore the results are somehow irrelevant. but the ssdf do nowhere print in their publications that their results have been "arranged" or "generated" with the chessbase autoplayer device which is not generally trusted by agreement of all programmer paricipating in the list. they do only publish numbers. stupid numbers. i see no other way for millennium company to forbid to publish those silly data, than threatening them. licence agreements in europe do count for swedish people to. you can believe me. it might be different in US, but many things are different in US. i would do exactly the same if it would be my product. if somebody would publish lies about my girl-friend or lies about my friends, he would get also similar kind of answer. printing lies is not a fair way of competition and not a fair way of an "independant organisation". >Dave
