Subtract This ... Deep Fritz's Performance on a Quad 500 (about 3 times faster
than SSDF's Last Hardware the K6-2 450) was Close to the Rating given for the
Much Slower Hardware.  However Other Programs Performed Higher than their SSDF
rating, I found it impossible to Relate the two You can't subtract for one
Program to Get the Rating for All others. But if you really want to you should
probably Subtract by atleast 200 points C'mon Deep Fritz on a 1200 is nowhere
near as Strong as Alekhine But his Rating was 2690 ....It is safe to say i
believe All the Top Programs are 2400-2550 in Strength and If anyone out there
doesn't believe that Play 30+ games on the Fastest Hardware against a 2700 Rated
Human.
