Mr. Blass, how do you know so exactly in which way this test suite was designed ? Where's the proof for your statement above ? Only the fact that Mr. Diepeveen has got Fritz's analysis as a proof from the test authors Michael Gurevich and Heinz-Josef Schumacher ? That would be ridiculous... Do you really believe that the authors Mr. Gurevich and Mr. Schumacher worked almost two years (altogether) in designing this large test suite only to put Fritz on top ? Do you really believe that me myself would invest so much (computer) time - 112 (versions of) engines x 100 test positions x 20 minutes - in testing and documentation of my results - only to put Fritz on top ? Why should we do that ? For money or other profits ? Maybe it's impossible in your eyes but - these test efforts are only a private hobby of "ordinary" friends of (computer) chess with interest to chess engines and test suites (like the earlier BS-2830, GS-2930 or BS-2001) - without professional claim, without any commercial interests. I have to state: It obvious makes little (or no) sense to give my EXCEL results of WM-Test to the public. It's not very funny to see such insinuations/accusations in consequence. Maybe my english ain't good enough but I hope it's clear for you now, Mr. Blass: Take or leave this test suite and my results - but don't insult people without any proof ! If you nevertheless want to continue in such manner: I will answer no more to you. Manfred Meiler
