Thanks for a good, helpful post. Tony's calibration page is at http://home.interact.se/~w100107/level.htm I welsome the SSDF's openness in publishing this data. Unfortunately, I don't think that it provides strong enough evidence for the year 2000. The following claims can reasonably be made: * Humans have improved against computers in the last 10 years * Even allowing for the above, it is possible that computer "rating inflation" has occured since 1990, in which case the current SSDF ratings could possibly be too high now This is why we need to look at the evidence of the Israeli league. However, thanks again to Chris and Tony for being open with the "older" evidence. -g On April 12, 2000 at 11:28:41, Chris Carson wrote: >Based on the data, SSDF is the most valid and most reliable source >of Computer ratings.
