They are only positionally better than computers and that distorts the CompElo calculations. :) You imply that playing "positionally better" is somehow of more value than playing "tactically better". While many humans probably share your view, (it's human, I guess =) it's still only just an opinion. The current rating system doesn't give you more ELO points if you beat your opponent with a wonderful queen sac as opposed to capturing the opponents unprotected rook. Regards, Sargon
