It would be nice if you could skip the CM-CM games, either by using a random
function to set the score or add a gauntlet tournament function.

Else about the rating:

I started your test with 5 min + 10sec.
And I see my topscore is what I earned on first game. Eg. 2297 because I started
with the default setting with rating of 1500. Then my first random opponent was
Sam (1439), and because I won the rating was that high.
I expect my rating to be ca. 1700 after 20 games, therefore no chance to climb
ut to the higscore in the programs lifetime (1-2 year ?).
So my question is (as it was when I saw this in CM8000), will this be reset when
I get to 20 games.
If not I have to think of this as a bug, regardless of you argument about
testers also had provinsial rating.

But, to be a bit positive, the random opponent function both in the game room
and tournament room was a very nice idea. I don't think I have seen it in other
program.
