SSDF say

1 Fritz5 (p200 mmx)  2589
2 Nimzo 98      "        2534
3 Hiarcs 6        "        2533

.
.
Games of Fritz 5 p200 mmx

Nimzo 98   9,5  - 10,5
Rebel   9    14  -  6
MCP 7        26  -  19
Genius 5      9   -  9.
Shredder 2   6,5 -  3,5

What it is???

Games only with 5 opponents!!. I am excluding games on P90 (p200 mmx is
3x faster than P90).Why no Fritz Hiarcs games????

In WMCC Fritz 5 running in P2 300 MHz and 256 Mb of ram (128 hash!!) ,
rank 16 ( 6 in 11 games, and played against programs ranked 12 a 28
(only 1 game with top (Junior)).
Discrete performance.  Why???

"confiability"(real elo) = (number of games) * (number of differents
oponents)

This is not a marhematical equation!!!! , but show the point.

The "confiability " of New SSDF list (104 games against 5 differents
programs ) is not better than WMCC ( 11 games against 11 different
oponents)

SSDF only says Fritz 5 have more elo in games against 5 strong programs,
only this.

Increments of different programs (rebel 8 in no different than rebel 9)
running in the same hardware will increment "confiability", better
strong programs not public availables (avoid killer book cook and
another ways to infate elo)

Fritz 5 is a very strong program , congratulations Frans..
