Or also >verifiable tournament condition games between club players and computer >programs? The SSDF has calibrated it's list with human vs computer games. They also have used the recent human vs compuer games results to continue to verify the accuracy of their list. A couple of years ago they did a re-calibration of the entire list based the the most recent results. The callibration results and my list of human vs compuer games are located on Tony's page. These games include players of varying skill, Last I checked it was between 2000 and close to 2800 ELO.
