Simple. When a "contest" is held, using a set of known rules and so forth, human nature is to take advantage of the contest rules themselves, as much as you try to take advantage of normal chess rules. In long matches between two programs, book learning is _the_ edge. In tournaments, it has no influence to speak of. So SSDF ratings don't say a lot about how the top 10 programs on the list would end up in (say) a round-robin tournament. > >The exception that confirm the rules is: >CM8000-ChessTiger 15.5-24.5 (1-5) > >Odd Gunnar
