500 games is not an arbitrary number, this is the number of Games at a minimum on the SSDF list where the ratings were steady +- 30 instead of +- 50 or 60 so there goes one of your assumptions the other I know you are not a part of SSDF, That's number two and as far as your example goes those GM's have most likely played more than 500 Games so 1 tournament proves nothing ask around i am sure the people in here will agree that you can't tell much by just 1 tournament. But you can believe what you want. Like i said Junior is too High there is no way for example that it can be so close in rating to 9x faster hardware if you believe that i would worry think about it it is like saying junior on a 286 is 100pts below junior on 450Mhz????????????????????? Hello. Like i said before it is only 1 tournament but still you can tell the ssdf results are wrong just by puting this to mind , junior has played withing the ssdf rating pool which includes some games against humans still with a decent margin of error and has recieved a rating of 2523 which is almost 100pts too high still on 450 which is 9 times slower than an 8 way 700Mhz machine which is trippling the speed twice or 90 x 2 180 like before how much memory did deep junior use this does make a difference. I believe SSDF is wrong and i am sure most people can do the research and find out the same if they don't believe me. FYI the examples from tony's page were not used in the ssdf's rating pool so only 183 games are being used but you would be right about one thing if they used those games they would have the so called arbitrary number (500 games)i mentioned but ofcourse you didn't say that.
