Pls. note: I DO NOT AND NEVER MADE MARKETING!

We have made a huge amount of games and based on those we can state that the
most reliable figure is 50 points.

Pls. consider that the opening books have a huge no. of variations and depending
on them and the selection toward the opponents this can vary, THIS IS WHY I AM
TALKING ABOUT MOST RELIABLE GUESS!

Yes, but I was talking about 45 points improvement. Pls. note program
improvements so no link with a specific hardware. Also the program may was a
little lucky with slow hardware so more or less this is the improvement.
Why Uri does not admit I was right rather than criticizing every time he think
he has the opportunity?

Again I repeat that I do not care about real Elo improvements as my interest is
to improve my opening book and win the WCCC!

Pls. remember that I was talking about 50 points improvement based on UCI
version; the one with my book, which was not tested by SSDF on A1200.

Yes, it does, but using the book made for Shredder 6.0, not for this different
version, so not fully optimized!

This is why it is not showing about 10-15 points more.

Pls. try to be precise, when possible as I do!!!! (This to please Deborah)
