But what I always wanted to ask: How does the processor speed affect, what these personalities play? In other words, does a 1850 personality make the same moves on a P90 and on a P3/800 (at the same time control)? And if not, what is the "standard measure" of CPU clock rate they are designed for, or have been rated with? After all, there's a very wide range of different pc speed among the users (which could result in a rating difference up to approx. ±200 elo IMO, if no adjustments are made). Thanks, M.Scheidl
