By the way, SSDF is not the only one to run matches this way. Even in Paris we saw programs running on platforms 2 or 3 times faster than others. Something else: a 3x increase in speed is worth roughly 100 points, equivalent to scoring 62%. In both matches reported by Tony, Fritz 5 scored almost 80%, which represents quite a bit more than the expected increase in strength due to a 3x speed up. Enrique
