Just as much sense as playing any engine vs engine. There are always questions regarding whether or not an upgrade has made an engine weaker or stronger. Such is the case (and has been for quite some time now) with Fritz 8.0.0.8 and Fritz 8.0.0.23. You can play endless games with both Fritz 8 engine versions vs other engines and still not know.............Or you can play a number of games between Fritz 8 versions and get a pretty good idea whether or not the upgrade has increased or decreased the performance. I think testing it this way would be much a much more efficient way of running a test. And Quicker!!! And above all, what does it matter, if one enjoys testing chess engines in this way or not? To say it does not make much sense is just a matter of personal opinion. What ever one enjoys and makes you happy is all that really matters. This is only a hobby for most of us anyway,is it not?? Thanks, Brian
