Especially if have 4-years worth! Annotated games are MUCH more valuable to me than unannotated ones, especially if the annotator is a GM. I, too, strip out the annotations on occasion for special purposes, but that is done only to a copy. I still keep the original annotated game. Someone making a suite of test positions [from a collection of computer chess games] might use the annotations to help identify the potentially most useful positions in the game. That would be an early step. Next would be to see if various popular engines had any difficulty with each candidate test position. If not, then the position might be discarded as being of no value. To me, it seems obvious that the person making test suites would be better off with a large number of different kinds of strong chess engines, each running on it's own computer, simultaneously. But who could afford that??? Letting people here at ICD CCC put the position on their machines seems a more practical approach. The only down side is that you don't get very many positions examined that way. In my [human] analysis of GM games, I like to make an unannotated copy for me to analyze independently before I examine the annotated games. Similarly, for games annotated by Fritz overnight. Bob D.
