It is not, but I never made such a claim. I didn't use the word "garbage" or any similar word anywhere. I think both lists are based on data of very high quality. >The rating lists are different indeed and it is good to have them both, but I >tend to look at CEGT more than SSDF now. So do I, mostly because my main interest is in amateur engines, which are very rarely tested by the SSDF. Like you, I don't really care how big the rating difference between Fritz 7 and Fritz 8 is (I am much more interested in learning about recent improvements in Frenzee, but unfortunately not even the CEGT list has anything to tell me about that). Some (perhaps even most) people around here don't care at all about the strength of your engine or mine, but are very intrested in the relative strengths of all the Fritzes. To those people, most of the effort spent by the CEGT team will look like a waste of time. I don't really think we disagree at all. Tord
