Hi Albert,

a good question. A wrote a little bit about free and not free amateur programs
on the webpage for my experiment (only in German available).

I speak with a German chess friend "Manfred Meiler" about my experiment. We
think it is better to play with available amateur programs. OK, I have 2 test
versions (AnMon 5.10 and Gromit 3.8.2) in my tourney, but maybe this is more
interesting for user which have interest to visit the webpage and the results.

I think you mean Ferret, Arthur, Chess Wizard ... very strong amateur programs
with TOP Level.

But I speak here only for the amateurs which started in my 20 tourneys.

Thanks for your interest.

Best
Frank
