Hi Christophe, > So we are both repeating that the comparison was useless? Great. I subscribe this without any problem... :) > So I still have to understand what was the point of your initial post... To show that any engine on Athlon 1333 can not be compared with any engine on much lower hardware. Not when you try to get after that some estimate how they will do against humans... But well, I might be wrong... But it's my opinion... So far nothing show me that I am wrong... SSDF knows about the problem, I am sure - anyway they have done this 100 ELO substraction to have the upper part of the list in some compareable range to human ELO... and the problem will occur again... And we both agree that it can't be fair to substract again 100 ELOs... But what else ? Maybe make seperated lists with only small differences in hardware ? I have no idea... Greets, Thomas P.S.: The opinion with that a simple alpha-beta engine with qsearch would have on Athlon 1200 around 2100 is interesting - this shows even more that comp-comp lists should not be compared with human lists... In comp-comp lists with very different strength there will be always some engines far below 2100 when we say that the best are around 2500 (which is a fair estimation for the best amateur engines of the winboard engines, I think) But it is hard to guess if they are really below 2100 against humans...
