Subject: My proposal to SSDF: decrease level by 100 points

I made comparison between Carson's latest human list and SSDF to clear
possible level difference. But it's very difficult, when there are not many
exactly same software and hardware combinations. I removed multiprosessor
results and made assumption, that difference between 200MMX and 450 Mhz is 79p
(for comp-comp, sure not for human-comp). Here's some figures:

 Program   average speed   Against humans   SSDF rating         difference

 Rebel         431Mhz      2549/33 games    2594 (200MMX+79p)     -45
 Fritz6        500Mhz      2457/15          2721 (450)           -264
 Hiarcs6       272Mhz      2573/20          2518 (200MMX)         +55
 Shredder      500Mhz      2495/8           2676 (450)           -181
 CM5/6K        375Mhz      2521/14          2653 (200MMX+79p)    -132

This means, that average difference (Against human - SSDF rating) is -85p.
(Weighted difference for all 90 games).

I think this confirms general feeling, that SSDF must drop level by 100 points.
Counting these multiprosessor Junior/Fritz may still lower level.

I this this kind of list is much more reasonable than current:

 1  Fritz 6.0 128MB K6-2 450 MHz          2621
 2  Junior 6.0 128MB K6-2 450 MHz         2589
 3  Chess Tiger 12.0 DOS 128MB K6-2 450   2571
 4  Fritz 5.32 128MB K6-2 450 MHz         2554
 5  Nimzo 7.32 128MB K6-2 450 MHz         2553
 6  Junior 5.0 128MB K6-2 450 MHz         2526
 6  Hiarcs 7.32 128MB K6-2 450 MHz        2526
 8  Crafty 17.07/CB 128MB K6-2 450 MHz    2524
 9  Nimzo 99 128MB K6-2 450 MHz           2523
 10 Hiarcs 7.32 64MB P200 MMX             2477
 11 Fritz 5.32 64MB P200 MMX              2475
 12 Chessmaster 6000 64MB P200 MMX        2474
 13 Hiarcs 7.0 64MB P200 MMX              2460
 13 Fritz 5.0 PB29% 67MB P200 MMX         2460
 15 Nimzo 99 64MB P200 MMX                2449
 16 Junior 5.0 64MB P200 MMX              2437
 17 Nimzo 98 58MB P200 MMX                2425
 18 Rebel 9.0 47MB P200 MMX               2420
 19 Hiarcs 6.0 49MB P200 MMX              2418
 20 Rebel 8.0 51MB P200 MMX               2410
