You are comparing 2 different things. In the SSDF the programs have a wider opening book and they are left with their learning system. In the Championship the openings are restricted and the selection is made/can be made on the opponent. It is like to put Ferrari and Fiat cars on the same level. >>I can name at least one program that has won several titles that >>has never been in SSDF. >> >>-- >>GCP > >Shredder was in the ssdf(Shredder2). >Shredder is also going to be rated by the ssdf(shredder5.32) >Shredder4 was hiding under the name 204. > >I remember that shredder4 could get >only 4th place when Fritz6 Junior6 and tiger12 were number 1,2 and 3 >respectively. The learning feature in the SSDF can be as good as 50 points. So a better learning can make the difference. Fritz and Deep Fritz have a opening book that has been refined for some years, so this helps the learning even indirectly. Shredder may loose game to find the best opening or to avoid the weak ones. at the end this cost points! > >I do not know about shredder5's rating but it is clear that it is also not >better than Deep Fritz and I am sure based on the results that I see that >shredder5.32 is not going to be number 1. Also the hardware can play on this as I believe a slower hardware is better for Fritz. The blitz games are the extreme example for this. > >Uri Sandro Necchi
