Once 17.13 is released, why would you ever want to play more games with >(say) 17.7 (or any older version)? This would likely mean that 17.13 would be >tested exclusively, until 17.14 comes out. Then you would move on to that >version, and ignore the earlier versions. I think that the ssdf want to test a new version only when they think that there is a clear improvement(at least 40-50 elo). I saw some results not by the ssdf(based on hundreds of fast time control games of both versions) that suggest that 17.11 is a clear improvement relative to crafty17.07 and I guess that this is the reason they want to test Crafty17.11. If they will not see again results that suggest that 17.13 is a clear improvement relative to 17.11 then I guess that they are not going to test 17.13. > >2.

Do you say that it was not a target event? Uri
