Some testers like that they can experiment with different settings (Chessmaster, Rybka) or engine versions released at the same time (Hiarcs 8, Hiarcs 8 Bareev, Ktulu 7.5, Ktulu 7.1). So here with LordKing 2006. Others hate it mainly because they do not have to CPU ressources to test all decently. For CEGT I can tell the following: - according to our discussion the next all versions lists will only contain the best three Chessmaster settings (but there will be an additional Chessmaster personality list) - for LordKing 2006 we still did not discuss. I guess we will run 100 or 200 games for all four personalities and then simply continue with the best one I assume that a level of ELO 2600 or more has to be reached to incite testers to test different personalities (for LordKing 2006 I still cannot tell if the best personality will gain this ELO, just check for the rating list update on Monday and regularly results updates here, although over Christmas not many testers will report results to me). There are just too many engines out that want to be tested. Best Regards Heinz
