One small correction. The games were played 1 at a time because CM's tournament mode succeeded in confusing at least 1 of the 2 machines. Though I vaguely recall that it was possible to play 2 at a time (CM white and CM black) before confusion struck. But since CM8000's Game Room was more informative than the Tournament Room, 1 game at a time was then prefered by tester Hans Chr. Lykke. So I think it qualifies as semi-automatic. >Who is right? Some SSDF staff reply? > >If Johan is right I don't see any good reson for not testing CM9000 in a similar >way. That's a very good question! In my few e-mail exchanges with SSDF I failed to mention this, because the issue was how to set-up TK under CB. That didn't work, and for the last couple of months nothing seems to have happened. Unfortunataly I'm not very proactive when it comes to other people's business, and I have a feeling SSDF testers are exactly like me :-) So the big question is: who's business is it? Another one: why doesn't any SSDF tester ever join whatever discussion? Addmittedly this question is just an attempt to move the blame away from me. But still it is an important question, about SSDF in general. ... Johan
