Yes, I have answered this above already. >Should you refuse to play in a tournament when your opposition was 300 points >over or below your level? In human games there is a difference with these ratings. But a player of the lowest local league has no chance against ANY player of the top league, so if he plays 2 or more opponents, you cannot say who of the opponents is better than the others. >All new programs have to play 3-4 meetings against P90, P200MMX and AMD450 is >this unfair? The result of the P90 match may falsify the whole result, except you have MUCH more games from MMX200 and K6-450. >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 I have also seen many outstanding results for Tiger, but I can only remember G/60. Give me (outstanding) results of tournament games on (almost) equal hardware and I will take back all I said and claim the opposite. :-)
