I would like to see 200 long time controls games played between Tiger and CM6000
on P200MMX and I wonder why you don't volunteer to play them yourself.
Then I suppose you might claim that CM6000 is the best program on 300MHz
computers (which have not been tested by the SSDF, and will never be), and you
would probably be able to claim this until the end of the times as nobody will
take the pain to play all these games manually.
Now that the "current" hardware on SSDF is K6-2 450MHz, I suspect they have a
lot of P200MMX computers available, so I would be very glad if they tested the
Rebel-Tiger on this platform. Tiger and CM6000 would not meet directly (as
CM6000 has to be operated manually and they are not willing to do it again), but
we would see if CM6000 can keep its ranking in the P200MMX list.
