Subject: "Accuracy" of SSDF list

Author: Mike Hood

As has already been discussed in other threads, ELO ratings only give the
relative rankings of competitors in a limited pool, although by extending the
pool to encompass the whole world the ratings can be considered absolute.

The SSDF rating lists can only be taken seriuously if the pool of computer
programs is periodically calibrated by taking into account games between
computers and humans.

To what extent is this done?

Are only games between grandmasters and top programs considered? Or also
verifiable tournament condition games between club players and computer
programs?
