Many authors are updating so frequently that even CEGT cannot offer so many games always (moreover when doing a lot of "high end" testing favoured by many testers). Waiting or not always depends on you. No guarantee of a minimum number of games can be given currently, but there are always some testers wanting to include new versions in their Arena tournaments. They are more reluctant to add an older version with already more than 1000 games. Quite normal, testers are curious and want to test from time to time something different or new. Best Regards Heinz
