I was delighted to see the SSDF initiative, but this is the wrong way of doing things and it does more harm than good. It's better not to test this wonderful chess program than doing it this way. Suppose CM9000 will top the list in the next edition then I foresee the longest thread in the history of CCC. Suppose it does real bad it will cause a similar stir. Unfortunately good intentions not always guarantee wise decisions, perhaps we have pressured them too much. My best, Ed
