Kurt,What people are interested nowadays is knowing the strength of new engines,there are many like Spike,Glaurung and some which were not or rarely tested by your team.Spike atleast seems to be doing very well in the tests quite recently which deserves testing.you see Kurt,that in this WCCC,there are lots of freewares which are among the top pushing away the commercials like Deep Junior etc. I hope that there will be more response and more comments on your tourneys of new engines.So when are you planning to start the new engines in the tourney?
