I can provide proof of this if you require it. When I joined CEGT, I was asked to run the 6+6 tournament I'm running involving 6 CM10th settings and 6 top engines. As I was also restructuring my CM10th Showdown tournament at this point in time, I offered to rerun it as a CEGT tournament. Note also that only the one setting of any program is included in one of the rating lists. I feel it's a little bit like sour grapes to start questioning the worth of CEGT now that Fruit 2.2 Uri isn't performing as well as hoped. Regards, Graham.
