From my point of view Mchess7 has no need to book against it's
opponents.
The fact that Marty or his team has decided to do so is more
contra-productive than senseful.
With any booked games Mchess-xyz bad-feelings against Mchess were
produced.
You can say each ssdf-elo-point that is won with this method produces
100 people don't liking this method.

I would advise - like Dirk Frickenschmidt has done it - to show a
message in Mchess7:

"Attention, this is a winning preplayed autoplayer game vs. Hiarcs6.
It will end in a win for Mchess7. Do you want to continue the game or
start another won game against hiarcs6 ?"

And the next step is: all programmers supply their programs with 300
winning games against main-opponents. This way the ssdf-guys would not
need to play out their own games. This would spare a lot of time :-)
