I would imagine the differences seen in a lot of test results depends on what you are looking for. I think CETG does a wonderful job, with great testers. And provides accurate results. Its' just that they are looking for different results than I am. Starting with pre-defined positions, universal books, etc. will give you a good comparison between 2 engines. And that is not my interest. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I am only interested in total program comparison. And the only way to arrive at that is to let them use their own books, and any and everything else they brought to the table with them. Lock, load, play. If one program doesnt have book learning incorporated in it, that is something the programmers will have to add or live with the results. I guess at times either approach may very well give similar results, and at times not so. At any rate, I dont consider either approach wrong- just a matter of preference in what you are after. Regards, George PS: I dont doubt that I will get a deluge of responses telling me in a nice way how stupid I am.
