No, you can't, because the result of each program isn't statistically sound. By gathering good and slightly worse programs you diminish the uncertainty artificially, so that is incorrect. >You will never get identical setup of software and hardware in the near future >so by your logic you cannot claim that programs are GM level in the near future. Since there's diminishing returns from hardware advancement, why not make the computer used at Dortmund standard. The Junior defeats could most likely not have been avoided by better hardware anyway. Minor changes to the software would be allowed within reason. Best wishes... Mogens
