Go up one level in this thread


a) WM Test of CSS is not a *test*

b) running 260 programs through these 100 positions is not *testing*

What you report here is playing with chess engines in chess positions. Just
because you start it, look at displays and report the results this can't be
called *testing*

because - -

test or testing are terms which require a sound design, exact definitions and
sound validity and reliability! Without the latter aspect you are not testing.
You are playing around but nothing else.

In special something can't get importance or any basics just by the applause
from a chess journal like CSS.

Sorry so much.
