Something like strength = engine + hardware + book You say 700 for the book. We already know hardware advantage to be in the order of 60 Elo per doubling, so for a quad let's give it 100 Elo. Shredder system performs at ~2750 at world champs, that means shredder engine (single game, no repetitions) on normal hardware is less than 2000 Elo??!! >>>Also these books are not subject for massive statistical testing, they are >>>private and only used rarely which in makes it all a big load of guesswork. >>> > >How do you know that are not subject of massive statitical testing if such tests >are private? It is incredible how you suppose and guess without any relevant >fact. That is the absurd world of Uri Blass. We don't have that statistics so to us it is guesswork. You claim to have such data but what you say sounds wrong, it would mean among other things that Frenzee (random book) is about 300 Elo stronger than Shredder (random book). Obviously something doesn't rhyme. >It seems to be you have got your root with your engine. And you seems not to >realize what components are really important. It couldn't be that you just underestimate the importance of the engine? -S.
