I did not say to have no list but only to tell the public that most of the games
are not public.

You do an important job when you give games but the problem is that many testers
do not do it.

everyone can decide if he can trust the results.

I am interested in the following additional lists:

1)a list based on only public games
2)a list based only on public games without using knowledge of the opponent
(without Nimzo99 games against Junior,Rebel,Fritz)

My words (I hope that they do not have much influence) were mainly because of
the fact that Junior5's rating is going down and I cannot find the reason.

It lost against Hiarcs7,Rebel9,Mchess6 in the ssdf games and I could not find
the games to see the reason that it lost.

I do not say that there were no games but I have no way to know if the games
were played or only part of them were played.
