Subject: If 75 Games are not considered a Statistical proof, neither is the SSDF.

Ever since I matched Nimzo 8 vs Junior 6 using my AMD K6-2 500 MHz and also
matched them using my Athlon 800 MHz at G\60 and got different scores; some
people argued that those games were not statistically significants to proof
anything at all. Then we must disregard the SSDF rating list, since each Chess
program only play 40 games against each other and not 200 games.

PS: I am still convinced that Nimzo 8 is one of the few programs just like
Gandalf 4.32 that benefit the most by using the best hardware available. And
they are not programmed specifically to outperform Fritz 6 on a particular
hardware such as the AMD K6-2 450 MHz.
