Pah - I have complained about those testing methods a long time.
Even when I met Thoralf in 1993 he knew about me not beeing their
biggest fan.
And despite this they tested hiarcs AFTER he won chamionship 1993
NOT on equal hardware than the TOP program genius.
Straighten your prejudices !
in 1993 fritz5 was not leading the list and where were you 1993 ?
So - this is not the question of objectivity here.
That you only come with prejudice whenever I say something negative
towards
ssdf or fritz5 does not show big insights, or ?

You can evaluate my output as much as you want. I will also critisize
this testing methods in the moment fritz5 is again there where it came
from, rank 18.
And than you can begin with another prejudice and say I have something
against
XYZ or that i am biased FOR abc or cde.
You can create as much prejudice as you want.
This does only show how senseless it is to speak with people who project
their own prejudices into other people.
It seems to be very difficult if somebody only knows to kind of stages:
friend or enemie and wants to VALUE the world like you do.

I see no sense in testing different kind of hardware.
No matter WHICH software you choose.
If this is my mistake, ok. But don't try to fog with "hatred" or not
"hatred" .
Because the history of major mistakes done by the ssdf is older than you
try to suggest here.
Eat this. Make a research about the days of dedicated machines.
Reconsider. And stop projecting your prejudices.
Thanks.
