This ridiculous, if you're serious.
Nothing (for me) is more urgent that to see how things rate from being tested,
as soon as possible. Maybe it's less exciting though for the programmers and
vendors, who want to get in some money (from innocent people, who are new to
computer chess, and don't yet have such a long experience of seeing how little
improvement is in each new engine they buy) first.
