Ferret is a private engine so the author should give them the engine to test. So the reason for not using Ferret is: Either the author has been asked but refused OR the author hasn't been asked. > >is SSDF test more important than any other testers report?

SSDF list consists of the following Chess playing entities: "Engine 1 + Hardware 1", "Engine 2 + Hardware 2", ...., "Engine N + Hardeware N" In the current list and to avoid making things complicated there are only 2 different hardware configurations....... > >why is there a lot of different crafty version results?why is there a >chessgenius result?as we all know there are many programs that does well than >chess genius. It's just a choice of people at SSDF what engines they choose......If you don't agree and want other engines then make you own tests.....:-) > >could someone pleasy clarify this?
