Hi Ed,
Personally, I don't buy chess programs because of their SSDF ratings. I
buy them based on the previous version's usefulness and enjoyment, and
based in part on the reviews by Enrique, Lawrence, KK, and others. And
believe it or not, I buy the upgrades not just for new features or
engine improvements, but to support the efforts of their authors. With
Bob Hyatt, all I can do is admire his clear thinking and no-excuses
attitudes. His program's free.
So I will be supporting you guys' efforts, in my small way, for as long
as I enjoy chess and have fun with your programs. Long after SSDF
results have passed from importance.
Best regards,
Robert
