I consider this very good work and interesting; the fact that rankings in test
suites are not identical to real playing strength is known, and therefore cannot
be a point of criticism.

I however think that there is a problem with the sensitivity of this test.
Results are very close, only a few points difference, many engines withidentical
results. First place to rank 260 is only some 180 points difference. Even if
these points are no rating points as we all know bzt something different, in my
view this range is still too small, the resolution of the test is too small.
