IMO the ssdf cooperate to much with programmers. with some. and they don't cooperate with other programmers. thats IMO NOT fair, it is the opposite of fairness. >You have asked them to wait for the patches of some other programs.

So what? no - in thoralf comments he spoke about chessbase programs having problems autoplaying. thoralf comment sound as if he is not really believing that rebel century is weaker due to autoplayer problems. IMO century3 is affected in strength. all people who have done manual games, have told in public that they saw a very very strong century. >Maybe the author is the one who should ask for this, don't you think? why ? if the authors decide about this, nobody needs a ssdf-list. then the author could send the data-material or only the elo-number to the ssdf-people, and they make a list out of it. >The SSDF list is the best indicator we have.

For me it is a joke-list. And the best thing are the comments, especially when they comment that program XYZ has lost 6 elo points. very exact this list :-))) - what a comment !
