It seems extremely unlikely to me that SSDF ratings "stick" to FIDE ratings.
A program rated 2700 by SSDF based only on competition vs. computers might be
rated 2500 by FIDE based only on competition vs. humans, or maybe 2400, or maybe
even 2800... who knows?  Machines at the low end might have a completely
different relationship than machines at the top end.
