To get an impression of the real playing strength of SMIRF and also the both other 10x8 chess protagonits it would be helping to have a seriously performed test of SMIRF playing traditional chess.

Well, this is exactly the point I tried to make. There are hundreds of engines out there to perform such tests, and to do a meaningful test you would indeed need a large number of opponents.

But you cannot expect them all to change their interface to accomodate SMIRF. That burden is on you. Neither can you expect testers to play hundreds of games by hand, when it is about a hundred times easier for you to make a version with an adapted interface...

Watching the "testers'" scene, I do not expect this, despite of hoping, it would still be possible.

I simply stated, that there would be a need for testing. As in earlier days of computer chess and as in the 10x8 chess scene it is possible to have games performed manually. If there are not such games e.g. between SMIRF and traditional 8x8 chess playing engines, that would mean, that there is no interest in chess development, instead there is an interest to have the 999th automatically performed Blitz-event, digging for absolutely "surprising" 2 Elo point shifts.

Reinhard.
