Two reasons: Because the programmers haven't sent any copies of Virtual
Chess 2 to SSDF for testing. SSDF cannot afford to buy several copies of
all new programs.

Even if we received copies of Virtual Chess 2, we probably couldn't get
enough games (>100) since as far as I know you cannot use auto232 for
testing. Nowadays only a couple of our testers want to test manually.
