Hi Thorsten,

well, but let the vancouver play against some engines on Athlon 1333. What do
you think will happen ? Do you think the vancouver will get the rating the
rating that it has on the SSDF list ? I doubt that.

So the main point is: Rating lists with big hardware difference get extremely
out of sync... As I have said, I don't see any reason why e.g. the vancouver
get's weaker in the last some years ? Do you see any ? By the way, many of those
old dedicated chess computers have proven their rating against humans, so it was
a little unfair to them to reduce their rating by 100 points... As long as
anyone claims that SSDF shows ratings compareable to human ratings... Agreed ?

Greets, Thomas
