I have no problem with the fact that the ssdf plays unequal hardware. The only problem is that the 20 Mhz lost and I expected it not to lose or at least to lose in smaller results based on some results of palm tiger that were posted here by Jorge pichard when palm tiger beated amateurs that used clearly faster hardware than p200. Especially when there is such a clear stratification of processor >speeds on the rating list. Wouldn't people be more interested in results >against dedicated chess computers with similar processor speeds? Aren't matches >with opponents roughly equal in strength also more likely to give statistically >significant results? The opponents were supposed to be roughtly equal in strength. I changed my opinion only after matches were played and not before they were played and it is possible that the same was for the tester. > >I want to see matches against the dedicateds at bottom of the list: > >TASC R30 v. 2.5 (2274) If this is the rating of TascR30 then it means that task R30 is better than Comet or Tal that their rating was close to 2250.
