So, this is the reason, comrade Uski ?
It ain't, anyway - but nevertheless :

please ask your comrades in your country, HOW the SSDF members did their testing
for a long, long time -
then reenter the ring and tell me more !

In former times your comrades, which you obviously don't know, didn't only spend
lots of their privacy on playing the games between the computers by HAND -
the " programms " themselves were not just comfortable CD's, but sometimes real
blocks of board computers, they had to carry around.

It is allways a great thing, if somebody invests time on his hobby to bring
interesting facts to an audience without payment - this deserves it's applause
quite naturally.
But don't you try to make believe what kinda hard time you have on this serious
thing in today's world.
Set up 2 machines, set up the autoplayer, go camping, come back - assure
yourself of the results + post them to your host.......
brave that you do this anyway - but don't you talk about the past ( 500 manually
played games )....
they weren't played by ONE tester, dear comrade Uski !
And it HAS been done - for many, many years, keep that in mind.
