Manfred, Thank you! Tremendous accomplishment, excellent documentation and presentation of results, as well as thorough analysis of the test positions, and selection of the same, not to mention the thoroughness of testing every engine you could find! I have some idea of the work involved as I recently posted results from running 23 engines through 389 test positions, allowing maximum of 30 seconds to solve. I know this must have taken you literally hundreds of hours of work. You have obviously set the standard for all of us for testing and presentation of test position results. Congratulations!!
