The SSDF list is played under a stringent set of conditions. The other lists are played under completely different conditions. Here is something that would be really nice: Have real-live GM's play against the real-live SSDF programs using auto-232 connected to Winboard under the SSDF current conditions with well calibrated machines. Make it worth the GM's while by: 1. Playing the games live over the internet for publicity 2. Paying the GM's cash money -- more for wins, less for draws, even less for losses Where will this money come from? I don't know -- any philanthropists out there? Maybe the chess engine manufacturers could pool their money and create a fund for this. It is patently unfair for Ed to have to fork out all the cash and everyone else just watches. [An exaggeration -- the Junior team also pays something I think... for those big matches that they play] At one time, the SSDF actually did stuff like this. Maybe there are some really friendly Swedish GM's that will be willing to help for a less than exhorbitant fee, since it will add substance to what is already a world-famous Swedish institution: the SSDF.
