Has it ever been Established Scientifically >that Programs gain more elo against other programs than against humans? I know only that Bob Hyatt found that hardware improvement is more important against computers than against humans in ICC but in this case it is a software improvement and we cannot know that it is the same as hardware improvement I guess that the 20-30 elo is only speculation and I am more optimistic about the difference against humans. I do not think that it is identical to the improvement against computers but I guess that it is at least 50 elo improvement. Uri
