Go up one level in this thread

Thorsten!

You have completly misunderstand Arpad Elo's system of measure players
strength.

The strength (platform) of the opponent have no importance, if the
difference is
not higher then 400 points.

Some years ago we did a test. We took the Nr.1 from the list and counted
it's
result against the five best programs it had meet. And then we counted
the result against the five worst programs it had played. And we counted
the ELO for
each test. And we got just about the same ELO point for the number 1
program!
This is way the ELO system is so great.
