Hi Heinz, If you are concerned about speculation on items like this, (who is the no 1 hidden engine due to game limitation of 300 games) you could simply produce the rating list via ELO Stat and limit the minimum number games to 300. That way the result would generate a list without missing numbers and none would be wiser till you reached the 300 game mark and posted a new list. >We are also aware that this is a pity for the authors of engines who want to >know beforehand where their new version stays currently and so I offered to give >them a "secret" link to an all games / all versions rating list on request. Then you could run ELO Stat again with minimum number of games set to zero to prodce this list. Sarah.
