Selective Search is heavly based on SSDF, however, when SSDF did a re-calibration last year, SS did not, also additional games are incorporated into SS that SSDF does not use (no, I am not sure what those additional games are). I like the SS (and other lists like Chessbits and Shep's and ratings from Frank's page) since they add more programs, different time controls and are good for comparisons. I view SS has a little to high when compared to SSDF, Chessbits and Frank's (other lists are also informative) and ofcourse the HvC performance ratings. Just my opinion. :) Best Regards, Chris Carson
