I'd love to make tests, but I'm not set up for it at the momment. I'm living by
my parents at the momment, and my own computer is not at this place, and also I
don't have the (recent) programs (besides Tiger 14 and CM8K)or the 242 software,
nor do I have two (identical?) computers. I used to test alot of programs
manually for my own information, long before I came onto CCC.

With blitz, I'm saying that when the speed of hardware has been multiplied a few
times, then maybe the (then) antique Hiarcs 8.0 will be great at Blitz of then.

Test positions too, at an hour per position, might be interesting.
