I hope so! I don't think so. Rebel and auto232 has always been PUBLIC. Hidden autoplayers have an advantage above the public ones. This is unfair competition. Furthermore I regret the silence of the SSDF very much. 4 main chess programmers have complained. The complaints are from end of February. Now we are 2 months further. No official answer, just silence, silence and silence. 10-14 days ago SSDF posted that there will be no April list. Why? Furthermore the posting also said, next list in May or June. I then decided to quit SSDF. I don't like to wait another 2 months on an answer, also I don't like to be ignored. From some fellow colleagues I know they will deal with the raised problem in their own way. They don't write here in public but they have similar feelings about this topic. This whole thing will not be without consequences. What a pity! Within a few weeks I hope to announce and offer an alternative that is better. Personally I think it is much better and more attractive. No questions yet please as the final details are not arranged yet. - Ed Schroder -
