If I can write my opinion, there it is: I would never use any programme to win a game. In your case it´s sure you don´t use the Smirf because you want to win but beacause you want to test it. OK, I accept it. BUT - don´t you think it would be better to do that in "classic" games (especially unrated), not tournaments? If you write to GC players that you´d like to test your programme in this way, I think you will find some. For example me (although I´m not so good in GC). I don´t agree with using Smirf in the tournaments but in "classic" games I support it.
