You will notice that the SSDF generally runs 800-1000 games for a given setup.
Now imagine (if you will) someone manually entering the moves for {let's say
900} games.  Will you volunteer?

On the other hand, it might be tested against Winboard programs easily enough,
since it allows them as "personalities".

Can someone with a copy of CM8000 confirm or deny matching CM8000 against
Winboard engines is possible at 40/2 with autoplay of some sort?

Otherwise, we are talking about hundreds of hours of work.
