Oh I see - like all these Houdini threads spamming CCC are promoting Houdini? :wink:
The bottom line is this.
Which engines the CCRL (and CEGT testers) decide to test and put on their respective lists is nobody else's business but their's, just in the same way that the engines that others choose to test is none of our business.
If you don't like our rating lists, don't look at them. It's not going to bother us. There are plenty of others you could look at and you could even organise your own list like others have done.
We do what we do for fun and will continue enjoying ourselves regardless.

Cheers,
Graham.

Oh dear - the old personal attack ploy again. Perhaps you need to get back in your padded room too.

That's becoming increasingly apparent. He's one bitter, twisted little man.
