Because it won't give you anything for the SSDF rating list?

It probably takes much more work than just a few if-statements here and there,
so if you're not committed to playing against humans, it probably won't happen
that fast. Rating lists are (sadly - IMHO) one of the main criteria to sell
chess software and the "relevant" lists are computer lists. Therefore comp-comp
games get the main focus.
