Considering I already ignore multiple SSDF entries for Fritz, Hiarcs, Tiger,
Shredder, Junior, all 450MHz, ect...  I'm sure it will be no problem for me to
ignore Chessmaster if I don't agree with this particular configuration.

I do not see this situation the same as competing for a tounament title. Someone
will always be around to complain about 'unfair' in context where it has little
point. We certainly EXPECT it in chess. Better to work on your engines and play
chess. Save the concerns for tournament and let the SSDF do whatever it is they
do. BK
