Just my 2 cents about this attempt.

A lot of work and no doubt done for good reasons but I started my list years ago and made it public later exactly because I was unhappy with the established lists. Now you throw everything in a pot and stirr it. I have some doubt that the outcome is any good.
Even if I know that I can't stop you from doing it I would rather like to have the IPON games not in that list - it makes simply no sence to mix ALL that different conditions.

Thx

No harm in what he's doing Ingo and a lot of people seem to appreciate it.
Ipon is still Ipon regardless, so nothing to worry about here really.
We wouldn't like it if certain engine authors objected to particular rating lists including their engine. Just an anology.
As I said, I cant stop it and I am aware of that. It is just that I have a lot of doubts about its use!?
Bye
