Imagine running 400 games at 40/2 manually.

At least one man-year of effort, I should think, especially since computer games
often run well over 100 full moves.  If you had to pay someone to do it, it
would cost tens of thousands of dollars.

I suspect they would be happy with volunteers.  People get in a lather when
results are not forthcoming.  But it's definitely Mindscape's fault for not
including any technology to enable such testing.  Chessmaster has no way to play
games without human intervention.

I have sent them a message that suggests for them to add it.
