This speaks out of my soul. And this is what I always tried to explain them. WHEN I want to measure something, I should take care to have FAIR chances at the beginning. I optimise this at home with using 2 K6/200 machines. These games with different machine speed do not provide serious data. THATS the thing. If we want to measure something we should make sure that anything is at its best. All these things are not trivial. Very complicated due to the fact that elo-ratings under humans do NOT have these problems. There is no kasparov clon running with 3 times the speed ! The mechanism work together in a different kind of movement in human-chess and in computer chess. The movements in computer-chess are less fluid. Anything stucks in the mechanical problems computerchess is embedded. In human chess there are no mechanics that can stuck. We have to be careful not to forget that the effects are different.
