You gotta be the only one in the world not having an SSDF list!

It's published in JICCA and any computerchess magazine i know of.
It's available from WWW and it's available by email from Karlsson.
It's usually also published at CCC.

You can blame chessprogram manufacturers/programmers from trying to cheat
on SSDF by altering the rules in their advantage,
but you sure can't blame SSDF from trying to do publication of their huge
effort.
