If the purpose is not to encourage comparison then it is better to substract 10000 points from the elo of both programs when the elo of all programs will be negative. I think that the comparison is not unreasonable because the covariance between the ssdf rating and the rating against humans is positive. I do not say that the rating is the same but it is possible to get better estimate of the rating against humans when we know the ssdf results. Uri
