I guess I have to brush up my knowledge of some computerchess basics :) but I do not quite understand all this. When a test measures the ability of chess programs to find good moves, why is it remarkable then when this is seen as an indicator of strength? What else should it indicate, when a chess program has a good result in such a test? Btw. thanks for the links. Looks like a giant collection of testing data. I don't know most of the program names :) Steve
