The idea is to test with an ADEQUATE SAMPLE. This is being done in many areas. For example, cars are tested on some - preferably "typical" - roads. You can't test a prototype on every existing road of the world. Still, tests can be made in a way that the results will be representative (different weather conditions, various types of tarmac...) You didn't know that approach yet? :) The same simple idea was applied to computerchess tests. Even a monkey is able to understand an accept that. But I'm beginning to realise that this club here is a gathering of the more strange folks who won't accept nothing and just must contradict everything :)) I'm curious what comes up next :) probably things like "a chess program isn't stronger just because it searches deeper" or more stupid stuff of that kind. Great fun! :) But where are the real experts please? Steve
