Hi Peter,
that's because at some point in the last years, SSDF had decided to re-gauge
their list. They had the feelings that their ELO overestimated the programs.
So, they - more or less arbitrarily - decided to subtract 100 from all their
ratings. This means for older SSDF lists, you have to subtract 100 in order to
compare to the newer values.
