Hi John
i entirely agree with you.Eric himself has admitted on numerous occasions that
his list is made up of a compilation of various comp-comp games from different
sources including those submitted by readers of his magazine,the SSDf games as
well as those posted in various chess news-groups (including CCC)such as the one
recently completed by enrique irazoque. he has devised a formula by which he
adds or deducts points according to the hardware used by these various people
and thus arrives at a rating.

in general i've noticed though, that his ranking generally mirrors the popular
view of the relative programme strengths
