i think you are wrong!

having now over two years of experience with my own chessbits-lists, i can say
to you that it is VERY easy to place a program with a HIGHLY overrated (or
underrated) position into the list.

there are dozens of possibilities to fake a rating.

i do not say that the ssdf fakes, i only say that it DOES matter which opponents
you choose.
