You also claimed that messchess is rated higher than movei.

I asked about rating list and you had no reply.
The question is messchess is better than movei is a different question than
the question if it is rated higher than movei.

I cannot be sure that messchess is even not better than Junior and Shredder
without knowing it and without seeing games of it but even if it is better than
them you did not gave a rating list to support your claims.

You do not join other tournament like WBEC(when Deep Sjeng won the last
tournament) or ssdf.

Are you afraid not to win the ssdf?

You can claim that you do not find it as important and it is your right but you
need to understand that other people do not find the world championship as
important.

If you think about selling your program then customers are going to be more
interested in results of it in the ssdf list and not in results of it in
the world championship when they cannot use the same hardware.

As GCP explained the world championship is not important and Fritz is the
program that is going to play against kasparov for a lot of money inspite of not
winning world championships after 1995 and even not leading the ssdf today.

I doubt if you are going to earn something from winning the world championship.
I did not read about a promise for a match against top player for a lot of money
for the world champion.
