That gives them HIGH priority of course. chessbase sends the programs to sweden and then it is a MUST to test them. i do understand. otherwise the companies would not be satisfied and would not like this behaviour and maybe not cooperate next release. I would rename the list in "just for fun list" instead of SSDF list. they do it for fun. so the list ist for fun :-) That would be a great announcement in magazins: the latest "just for fun" list.
