Hello Vincent,

at first: my english is not so good than yours :-(

Your last sentence is complete nonsense, sorry !
Have you any proofs for your accusation ?

Why do you think that the "WM-Test" is made especially for Fritz:

a) because this test suite is published by "CSS" ?
The "WM-Test" was designed by Dr. Michael Gurevich and Heinz-Josef Schumacher,
the biggest part of it  b e f o r e  publishing in CSS - and of course without
any "pre-order" of CSS ore someone else.
I do know that because I'm a part of the "WM-Test team" responsible for testing
different engines. In any case of "pre-order" I wouldn't have put ONE hour in
such a project, believe it or not !
BTW: H.J. Schumacher (together with Hubert Bednorz) designed the earlier test
suite "BS-2830". Do you think the BS-2830 is also a "Fritz test" because he was
also published in "CSS" (in 1997) ?

b) because of my EXCEL sheet that I've sent you some weeks ago - with the
results of over 80 engines, different Fritz 7 versions on top ?
Now I do regret that I gave you my test results of "WM-Test".
If someone is honestly interessed on my test results of 74 engines (tested on
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1400 mhz) please have a look at
http://www.computerschach.de/test/index.htm

It's not very funny for me
- to work many hundreds of hours for a new test suite (together with Michael and
Heinz)
- then to give my results for free to everybody who's interessed
- and then to read such an insulting post like yours.

Such things are suited to steal me the fun for giving the results of my test
efforts for free.
It's disappointing...

Manfred
