Your comment only shows YOUR ignorance Karsten. :-))) And that you do not know anything about computerchess :-)) >Thanks to the SSDF, that these games show Thorsten's ignorance ... > >Karsten I see the things different Karsten. The question is not statistics. It is: What are they doing there ??? Why don't they test Nimzo 3.5 on 386sx 16 Mhz vs. Fritz5 ? I still have one in my basement and would lend it to them. How many games do you think would Fritz lose against this machine ? You cannot really believe that using these different platforms would really generate sensible data you could generate ELO-ratings for statistics ? If you drink 10 beers and play blitz against fritz5, how shall we value the ELO that comes out of this ? Significant ? Senseful ? Nimzo3.5 on p90 with 16 or 8 MB vs. Fritz5 200 Mhz MMX with 64 MB and powerbooks is as different platforms like you with 10 beers blitzing against Fritz5. Although I am not so sure if 10 beers are enough for you to generate the effect I want to refer, since you seem to drink much whenever you see, so : maybe 10 beers is not enough. 20 ? Computerchess is very sensible to speed. Some programs need a special search depth in minimum to generate their positional knowledge without making blunders. The search depth of programs does NOT develop linear ! Ignoring this means: getting wrong data for creating wrong statistics. I have done many games on all kind of platforms Karsten. I know about HOW programs react if you choose different kind of platform. I have heard you are the master in task-switching on ONE machine ! So you should know better. Or NOT knowing better since you use the same platform :-))) Thanks for your constructive comments.
