I agree that genesis is probably not in the top 100 but I believe that like your
engine it is in the top 500.
I guess that part of the private engines are practically a clone of commercial
programs or free programs.

Programmers who develop strong programs need to test them and if somebody
like Leo give free computer time for testing then I see no reason not to send
the program to him.
