Hi!

Speake out!

What do you mean with "clearly inflated". As most people understand it's not
very much inflation in the SSDF-list. The difference between now and then is
that people nowadays know how to play a computer. Compare it with the program of
 your choice with the results from yesterday and today. I have played thousands
of games against Mach3 (Avantgarde) and my results today is much better. Why?!
I guess Mach3 is still as strong as before against an unexperienced player or is
it a year 2000 problem....?
