I am sorry Graham,you are one of my favourite engines testers,but I really dont understand/see the point of this type of tournament. Who,except maybe programmers,cares about engines like for example,Pawny? Does it have any chance of getting near top 10 or something like that?
I know we who closely watch your tounaments can really be boring,but please consider what I am writing about. Why wouldnt you,instead of these pointless tournaments,run a tournament with like top 16 engines or so every once in a while,where every tournament will have only one opening and 2 or 4 games played between engines. That way,we could calculate something like ELO ratings.
I apologize again for being boring,but I believe this way it will be better.

I am interested in running more than just the top 16 engines, which is why I run these tournaments. Also it is a way of giving something back to the computer chess community.
Remember that many top engines start from small beginnings.
Occasionally I run my Super Tournaments (1CPU and 4CPU) with the top engines, as well as the occasional 8CPU tournament.
Even now, I am running matches and gauntlets involving top engines. See the list in the CCRL update report.
Of course! Is a very good service to the community, a big help and a big motivation for the developers. Also the ratings are a lot more than top engines. Just thank you again
