I was reading through some old Web CCR articles earlier today - there aren't too many new ones - and I noticed one by Fernando Villegas dated 3/14/97. It is entitled, "A Proposal To Create A Rating List on Games Against Human Beings". This is a suggestion I reaaly think has some merit and is a more important statistic than the SSDF or Hallsworth could provide. This would involve more than just the top pc programs of the past year or so. Many of us in CCC have a rating and many different chess computers and programs, all we would have to do is have a series of ten or so "serious games" against these programs and turn them in to someone to verify and determine the rating. Plus, any book cooking or designing programs only to beat the existing programs would not guarantee the programmer a top spot on the list. Mark Loftus
