It may be interesting to know the difference between the new engines and the old engines and by not having the old engines in the list we get no information. It may be also interesting to see some nunn rating list that is based on the nunn match with no opening book between the engines in order to learn about the importance of the opening books(it may be interesting if we see significant difference in the results of the engines relative to the ssdf results).
