Is it still up to me/us to do such matches/contests? I can't believe it. Of course it would be possible to test Fritz3, Genius3, CM5K etc. on modern hardware, but then the SSDF would probably not have enough resources to test programs like Hiarcs 7, Nimzo 99, Genius 6 and MCP8. I think it is much more interesting to see the performance of the new programs rather than the programs which have been around for several years. Tord
