Subject: Does the New SSDF List Reflect the Real Strength of Programs?

  I hate to open up a can of worms here, but it would seem that recent results
suggest that the SSDF list is Pretty Accurate. Tiger performed at the 2700 level
on hardware much inferior to that used by the SSDF. That fact may suggest that
the List is Underrated. Deep Fritz result against the Veteran Grandmaster Robert
Huebner adds further validity. I am not sure what Rebel's performance rating
with Vanderwiel is, but I am sure it is over 2600, this achieved on hardware
slower then that used by the SSDF. I commend the SSDF for doing an excellent
Job, Perhaps more games against Humans will continue to collaborate their fine
work. Maybe in the future SSDF will have to add points to the current list,
instead of subtracting!
