Subject: Covax 3 is *not* the Play-the-game-test

Hi Covax, hi everybody

The Covax3-test is interesting and I like the chess commenting.

But please do not use the name "play-the-game-test" for it.

I introduced my own test here with exactly this name some days ago and
will continously post more positions (or revised positions) concerning
this test.

I wrote a FAQ/introduction concerning my test where I described what
kind of test this will be.
I will post it again to put things clear.

It's not only a question of picking up the name I chose for my test.
Your testing procdure also is something quite different from mine.
You let programs analyze human games and give points for coincidences.
I let programs play games from key positions.

So your naming causes confusion.

Please be so kind and look yourself for a proper name for your
interesting test *not* to confuse those who are interested in the
original "play-the-game"-test.

Kind regards from Dirk
