I don't hope so (but I certainly won't call it >"expanding the uselessness" if it happens :o). I'd call it loss of information. The problem with selecting an arbitrary number of versions for some engines is that it will skew the list. Some engines will suffer and others benefit from four Fritz 6 and two Fritz 7 versions as an example. The same would happen if all Crafty versions were represented. It may add information from a neutral point of view, but it also deducts information at the same time or obscures it to be precise. Regards, Mogens
