I don't understand the purpose of publishing lists with "secret" programs that
somehow get better results than commercially available programs.

And when you are questioned about it, you become defensive.  I don't understand
you.

How about the following list:

  1. ACME brand x   3044
  2. Chess Tiger 14 2933
  3. CHICKEN SOUP   2833
  4. Fritz 6e       2804


That's my official list.  And guess what?  It's just as valid as yours.

Hate to say it, cause chessbits is my favorite German computer chess online
magazine, but your lists with these mystery programs is nothing more than either
a joke or a marketing gimmick.

Either way, it smacks of fiction.
