Speculations, speculations...

Facts prove exactly the opposite. 0.6% of the SSDF games played between
today's best programs are doubles. This is not statistically
significant.

All programs come with books tuned for the lines they play best. Very
many auto232 games are being played with this purpose.

All programs come now with these learners.

As a result, the difference you see in ratings reflect the strength of
engines.

To the same purpose it always did: to show the relative strength of
programs in computer-computer form.

And from where do you get this? Any proof?
