Hi Uri, >> oh my god, Uri, I really do not want to calculate any rating out of 9 games. >> It would be unfair to ChessTiger, think about the hardware difference. > I disagree. > chess rating is something fair. > I do not believe that your program is going to get higer ssdf rating if it > plays only against programs with slower hardware. > It is going to win more games but it does not mean that the rating is going to > be bigger. So why does Christoph not allow me to test against the top programs on the SSDF? At least ChessTiger on Palm should get some points against them to prove that it is at 2100... I doubt that it would get any points against Gandalf, Junior 7, Fritz 6, Shredder 5, the Tigers when they are playing on Athlon 1200... And anyway I am quite sure that it has at least 2100, maybe even more... He says himself that the difference of speed is to big here... >> It is based on winboard engines. What is so wrong with that ? No need to >> include any commercials, crosscomparisson is made with Crafty, SOS & Little >> Goliath... > It means that the rating is not comparable with the ssdf rating so the rating > of the winboard is meaningless to get an estimate for the rating against > humans. So, following your argumentation, the SSDF-list is also meaningless to get an estimate for the rating against humans. There is not more crosscomparisson then the winboardlist has with Crafty, SOS & Little Goliath. Agreed ? > I do not believe it. > I think that you underestimate Quark. > I guess that quark is going to get similiar rating in both cases and I will be > surprised if it is going to get below 2200. most programmers underestimate their own creation... :) But I am quite sure that it would not get much more then 2200 maybe a lower rating then that on the SSDF list if only playing against the tops also on Athlon 1200...
