Oops!!!
I think this confuses your rating list significantly. Wouldn't it better to play
again the matches played by Fritz6 / Fritz6a? OK, it is probably a task too long
to be practically doable.
So at least the fact that F6 and F6a results have been merged together should be
very clearly stated. I did not notice earlier.
Now I understand why you say that some program can be 100 elo points higher than
"F6"... It is indeed possible.
