What I had in mind was different kind of tournaments instead of only one. Like different time controls (the blitz league, fisher time etc), different themes (like sicilian or queens gambit etc, with and without opening lib's and other types of conditions. That would give some more added value than just another "1000 of games rating" with probably about the same results as the SSDF tests. What I'm thinking of is a variety of results under a variety number of conditions. Together with the SSDF testings on a variety of different hardwares, which I don't regard as 'unfair' (not arguing about Fritz here, just the concept of different hw's) in principle as long as Rebel9 as well as others on P90 is regarded as completely different players than the same programs on P300, we will get an ocean of data to argue about... Tha last one is probably the longest scentence I've ever written! //Peter
