At least the book issue is something.

Before the Leiden tournament there was some posting here that suggested that a
book author did test hard against opponents books. Nothing wrong with this but
later we see that SSDF use the same book in their testing.

Another issue is the book learning, this make the list unuseful to check which
engine to bye for human games or analysis. Eg. the importantness of the list is
only for those who like to play comp-comp games. I don't have thought too much
of alternative test forms here but tournaments instead of maches could maybe be
something.

I will not comment on the other issue in Diepeveen's post since I don't know
anything on SSDF's testers and their ability.
