Go up one level in this thread


For Starters If Deep Fritz were that Magical 2700+ number Like the SSDF Claims
Then Huebner wouldn't have Drawn Every Game of their 6 game Match
Secondly With All Do Respect No Commercial Program Has Played As Many Humans As
The Deep Thought/Blue Programs and Also The Number of Games Vs. Rating Average
Is Unequal (Not as many games as Deep Thought) If you Suggest that programs are
So Strong why Then Hasn't One of the Top Commercial's Put up so much Money as to
Play Against a Top 10 Opponent and Not a Couple of Unknowns?

Tiger Didn't Beat All GM's and I don't think they were very Strong GM's someone
even mentioned that Tiger was Lost in One Position. That may not say Much but I
would Consider Rebel's Achievement or Deep Junior's Much More Impressive.
Rebel because of So many Games against Strong and well Known GM's Like Rhode and
Scherbakov  and Deep Junior for Beating GM Leko and Heubner , Drawing Everyone
else Besides Kramnik and Lautier.

8 Games are not really enough and 1 Tournament By no means makes a Computer a GM
, They Can't Get The Title anyway, I would Like for this to be a possibility
Then maybe someone would Try for their program to get it and we could Look to
FIDE instead of SSDF .   I hate that the list should be lowered by upto 200
points even by their own estimate the link is on their page.

Another thing Tiger's Rating On an 866 Compared to the Speed Difference of the
SSDF would Still Point to the SSDF's Given Rating for Tiger to be Wrong.

Tiger is 2703 on a 1200
While 2788 against an average 2497FIDE On a Slower 866 Hmm Somebody is wrong
Either all those players were lying about their rating or Could it be that the
SSDF Is Off ...
