So your suggestion is to start all over on every new hard-ware level and maybe disqualify weaker programs to compare. The level of the list is another case but this discussion could be done later. So Tiger and other top-programs shouldn´t play weak programs like Fritz3 on P90 because they are to strong, and can we estimate this before we have played it? Should you refuse to play in a tournament when your opposition was 300 points over or below your level? All new programs have to play 3-4 meetings against P90, P200MMX and AMD450 is this unfair? Of course he isn´t sure but he knows some other results that´s not published yet (Not finished meetings on all three levels) Bertil SSDF
