I think that when SSDF began, they made a calibration against human players
(at least they wrote that in their home-page), so the existence of a direct link
with human strenght are implicit. Different when Ed Schroder tried to do a
paralel rating (he gave every program a arbitrary rating, 2500 if i remember
correct). The poster that you replied only asked for a new recalibration because
is difficult to believe that fritz and others have 2600 elo and are drawing or
losing against 2300-2400 humans.
Thats only my 2 cents.
