I would like to do investigations of certain lines by having a computer play them online against all opposition (and I couldn't care less if people "cheat", in fact I would approve, since the goal is to test the lines against best possible play), but I don't want to get into all this ratings-grabbing nonsense. Obviously if I play selected lines I run into the possibility of losing or drawing repeatedly until I adjust the book, etc. I don't care about ratings, but I don't want to feed people that do either.
