I think SSDF's decision to only test programs with Autoplayers is a Joke, As I posted earlier regarding Chessmaster. I think CM6000 is easily in the top 5 of the strongest programs, but hey we will never know because SSDF who brings out this unoffical listing saying which is the strongest program has decided, well if the programmers are not going to put in a feature that makes things easier for them, then to hell with that program, what RUBBISH, what GALL. I already think SSDF ratings are a bit off sometimes, well maybe one reason that I do not pay to much attention to them anymore. They are not really a reflection of the strength of computer programs today. They are a reflection of a select group of programs that have a feature (Autoplayer), and well if you do not have this feature and even if you have the strongest program, then you will not get on their little list. Until I can see a whole new approach to their rankings then I am not going to pay to much attention to them, at the moment they are rubbish.
