Subject: programmers do not care about the ssdf list

I found that Junior6 tried to win by repeating the same opening against
Rebel8(p200) without success because it chose a different move in the middle
game.
I suggested Amir a long time ago what to do against this problem(learning to
have winning game as part of the opening book) but he does not use my idea.

Another mistake of Junior is resigning in lost positions(in part of the cases)
I saw cases when Fritz failed to win a simple winning position because of
tablebase bugs and if  the ssdf list was important for Amir he could tell Junior
not to resign.

I think that the ssdf rating list is not the important thing because we have no
idea about the size of error in the not public games and the important thing is
the public games in the ssdf list.

I think forbidding to publish the ssdf rating list is a foolish idea and I am
against this idea mainly because the result is that there are less public games.
