To understand how things work here in CCC you need to understand that the general opinion in this forum is that in order to rate a chess program you can not rely on 1, 10, not even 100 games. This issue has been a topic since years and has been discussed dozen and dozen of times and most of the people tend to agree you need at least 400-500 games for an acurate elo rating of a chess program, hence the popularity of the SSDF list as it provide such data. Naturally being new here you can not know that or simply disagree with the general opinion, that's all fine and there is no need to label each others opinions as trolling or whatsoever. So everybody is invited to discuss the strength of any chess program avoiding language use that might upset other readers, note I am speaking in general. Kindest regards, Ed Schroder CCC moderator
