Uri,

I am not saying that SSDF list is the only thing to use and that gives a reply
to all questions for chess programs.
I am saying that SSDF list is the best to tell you if a program is better and
how much over a previous version. This is the goal of this list and what they
choose is based on this result.
Of course for specific questions like correspondance games, so not long
tournament levels, another system can be better.
You say this is CETG, OK you may be correct on this. I have no data to claim
something different.
