You can assume what you want.
I have my reasons not to use them.

I will only say that my evaluation is dependent on factors that are not the leaf

again in the same search.

I compares movei with most of the engines here and it was a response to your
comparison with them.

I did not compare movei with Diep.

I admit that movei of today and probably movei of this year has no practical
chance to win graz.

If it is going to get the level of the commercial programs on one processor then
I may change my mind and go to graz but I do not expect it to happen this year.
