Looks like it's the end of the line for the SSDF list. It was due to update in early April. It's now mid June, and it still hasn't updated. Anyway, the autotester methgodology entails the computers playing thousands of games that no human will ever see. Human chess players don't play thousands of games between 2 players, just to make sure the result is exactly right. In sport, the winner is the person who wins on the day. Who produces a little extra magic when it is needed. The autotester methodology is taking the game too far away from human experience for it to be worth doing in the context of providing sport or entertainment for mankind. I challenge anyone to tell me why autotesting is a good thing to do! Having said that, I eagerly await the next SSDF list. :-)
