Go up one level in this thread


There is still the problem, that Fritz5 was rated using a special
auto-player supplied by Chess Base, which no one else had, with an
unually larger amount of ram then the programs it played, that it was up
against.

For the rating list to be truly fair, all programs have to be run on the
same hardware (If not thae same computer, adjustments are made regarding
processor speed, ram, ect., about the machine), with the same
capabilities.  As much as I'd like to believe Fritz5 is the strongest, I
won't believe it, until the top programs are re-rated, and from the
start, on the same platforms and auto-player's.  Until that happen's,
time alone, is not a satisfactory answer.
