If a program gets 11-13 ply at slow level time controls and if the same program gets like 6 ply at 1 0 games, then that's going to give a completely different picture as a program that gets 9 ply at bullet and 14-15 ply in slow level. Yes the difference in playing strength (let's not discuss ICC rating here as the rating is different calculated as the FIDE rating calculations are done which explains the weird ratings at icc) is way more as 300 points then. My proof is easy. Play a program at 1 0 without permanent brain against other progs at 40 in 2 level. You'll see a 100% score then. 100% score is abvoe 750 rating poitns difference. So it's not 200-300 rating poitns diff, it's way more as that!
