>The weak opposition had the (arithmetic) average strength of 2301 active elo points with the weakest being Sparc (SSDF Elo 2223). i did not say the opposition was weak i said it gained its points from weak opposition by this i mean against the higher rated computers it loses or draws even and against the lower rated units it wins so the lumping effect gives it an artifically higher rating against the three lowest computers(Risc,Sparc and London)it gains 5-6 points and a performance rating of over 2600 against the Tasc it is fairly even against the V11 it loses points and to be quite honest i think the V11 is a modified computer and should not have even been tested Fidelity never authorized a version past the V10 why not rip out the guts of a Renaissance board or perhaps a Novag board or any chess computer and overclock the oscillator and add extra ram and perhaps a Risc or Cisc Processor and test it against the Res?? in addition the Chess Machine Shroder is not even a dedicated computer but a PC card all in all a very unusual choice of opponents i think and a rating i personally do not take so seriously but the rating is there and so it will stay..2383..some 50-60 points lower then Ruuds results with the BT 2630 test Suites > >This probably also depends on the availability of dedicated units in Sweden... well if they will not test against the dedicated units i see no point to the testing the Res is a dedicated computer and who cares how it preforms against PC engines? the interest i think is to see how it competes against the other units and where it stands in relation to other dedicated units why not test the Sparc against Fritz 9 or the Tournament machine against Shredder 12 or 13 or whatever its up to now?
