They aren't allowed to report the results publicly. That's different from not being allowed to test it. _They_ know which programs are which. >I do not like their secret numbers. >I think that noone is interested to know that program number 261 has 2500 >rating. > >It is better if they stop testing the programs that they are not allowed to test >and do all the games public. > >I prefer a list with less games when all the games are public because I have >problem to trust results when the games are not public because it is impossible >to discover mistakes. This is an unfortunate consequence of the decision by vendors to refuse to permit testing. Even in the case where the opponents are known, not all of the games are usually available. Perhaps you would be happier if there was also a chart based on only public games. My guess would be that the group is small enough that they know each other and that they are not worried that one person will skew reported results. >Uri Dave
