John,



Mr. Hallsworth tells us that he used a 233Mhz Pentium/MMX system .  It's on his
site in bold print.  I agree with you and Bob Hyatt and think that an elo rating
of 2649 for the top program is horse-hockey, especially on an "old" 233Mhz
machine.

Mr. Hallsworths' list is just an approximation and serves to guide the chess
program buying public. It is just as reliable as the SSDF list and is useful
only as a relative index.

Have fun in computer chess,
