The players in ICC do not get prizes for their results so the situation is
different because they care less about the result.

They may play an opening against programs because they want to prepare for
human-human games.

We need the events when the humans get prizes in order to know the real strength
of human against computer at this time control.

I do not see the hash tables clear with Crafty under chessbase and I do not care
about old programs like hiarcs6.

What is your enjoyment from proclaiming loudly things that are not relevant
