This is in no way impossible. If I am going to test
an engine with matches vs other engines, nothing else
is done than running the PC using the said engine
e.g. Shredder 9 test: http://www.utzingerk.com/shredder9_test.htm
or CM10k test: http://www.utzingerk.com/cm10k.htm
or Gandalf 6.0 test: http://www.utzingerk.com/gan60_test.htm
or Junior 9 test: http://www.utzingerk.com/jun9_test.htm
and so on. It's only a matter of interest and patience :-)

Kurt
