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. I believe that most programs have similiar learning and chessmaster8000 that have no learning is an exception. I believe that there is not going to be a big difference in a round-robin tournament. I do not say that the ranking is going to be the same but it is going to be similiar with a possible exception of programs with no learning function. Uri
