If you pick any program of your choice from Aegon, I will pick one to offset it. For any 2600TPR you find, I will find one with a 2200 TPR. That is the problem. Statistics looks at the averages, not at individual data points. And the average is way below 2600. As far as ICC goes, Crafty has been over 3250 there. I doubt it would have a prayer in hell of doing that in FIDE events, running on a T932 even.
