Can you give list of programs that are tested.
conditions:(matches between engines or tournaments?)

In case of matches do you plan to clear learning between matches?

I do not think that it is a good idea if programs can learn from match against
fruit2.2 which lines to use against fruit2.2.1.

This is of course an extreme example and I doubt if you plan to test both
versions but the idea is clear.
