If you don't agree, your free not too:) Actually, you might be surprised how much I agree with you. I think it would be an interesting research project. If someone else did it, I would enjoy going over the data. However, from my standpoint, I want chess excellence. That is the reason for my well-known distaste for blitz. So running contests with castrated chess programs which will produce comically bad moves is not something I would engage in. Yet I do recognize that valuable and interesting data would result. It's just not the sort of thing I would ever want to spend *my* time on. If someone else wants to do it, I say more power to them. I do think you should get the program author's permission before doing something like this. I suspect many would find it very distateful, especially those who spent hundreds or thousands of hours working on their books.
