Testing programs takes time and the tester prefered to test new engines and not crafty. The only exception is Junior5 because he wanted to see comparison between the new engines and the old commercial programs. > >>2)List does not know to ponder so testing with ponder off can give better >>estimate for the potential of list. > >I don't by this. If List can not ponder List may have a problem. Anyway you >shouldn't cripple the other programs. You can decide about different rules in your tournament. playing without ponder and with book give better estimate of the ability of the engine to analyze. I agree that it does not give exact estimate because of problems that Jos mentioned like better time management but I also do not like test suites to get an estimate for the ability of the engine to analyze because I do not think that the test suites give the right picture because there are a lot of positions when we do not know the right move and they are not in test suites.
