Go up one level in this thread


I disagree with you.  :)

1. The Dutch Championship was on hardware
not in the SSDF list.  So was some of the
other HW that you mentioned.

2. I have published the analysis for SSDF vs
my list several times.  Half the TPR's are
above the SSDF and Half are below.  That is
what is expected, not exactly the same or always
above SSDF everytime.

3. The SSDF says perhaps 25 to 50 points could be
lowered from their list.

4.  The SSDF is the most reliable measure of computer
program strength, IM Kaufman and GM Seiwan have noted that
in published articles.

5.  I had a lot of respect for the SSDF before I started the
H vs C list, I have even more respect now!  :)  Try to publish
a list when people say count this game, don't count that, that
should be counted as a win not a loss, that was a meaningless
will because .....

6.  Many GM's are afraid to play the programs.

7.  If you want to subtract x from the SSDF list or my list or
any other list, do so, you are free to your opinion and publish
a list - 200 or + 100 or including this game or excluding that
game.  :)
