Rybka. It shouldn't shock anyone when I make the statement that CCRL stands to benefit from this and vice versa.
Prima.
Normally I do not read your postings as they are mostly silly and as here not true! CCRL does not support any engine! I know that as I am in contact with the tester - some of them have been testing for CEGT too!
They provide a list for the community using their money and time - and it is their decision, which engines they test or not. What is your work for the community - I am afraid: nothing!
There are other engine authors beside of Rybka who have to be in mind when you decide what to do. And they decided not to test Houdini and Co. I accept this decision. And this has nothing to do with supporting!

I totally agree with Werner here!
There is no reason for "CCRL-bashing" or "Graham Banks-bashing". They decided not to test Houdini etc. as we did one year ago too. Now we - CEGT - changed our mind but this has nothing to do with CCRL. It was our decision which should be accepted, as well as their decision (not to test) should be accepted.

Thanks Werner and Wolfgang for your comments. Very much appreciated.
