I too have my suspitions. I keep hearing about King not having automove and is the sorry reason why its not tested, yet King wins Lieden without automove. There is always some excuse and you will see posts showing these excuses why chessbase is not sponsoring SSDF. People usually dont like change but in this case if people like Kurt Utzinger decided to compose some type of fair and balanced Computer Chess Test Organization, I believe you will find the Computer Chess Industry excepting the tested results.
