I think that you exclude everything _but_ problems on the computer side. The machines _will_ have hardware problems. Such ratings are therefore valid. Ditto for operator errors. They should be infrequent, but since they happen they are clearly part of the actual rating of computers... Forfeits where the opponent didn't play a move are meaningless. As are games where the opponent played a couple of moves just to meet some ill-thought-out requirement to qualify for a larger prize fund, before he resigned. > >3.
