But they didn't score their planned wins, except in 1 game (out of 10). http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=446 >Assume that this add 50 elo. *Much* too high for not being able to practise against the exact version. Practising isn't 100% identical to the match situation anyway, so Deep Junior 7 is virtually as good a training opponent than the very latest Junior IMO. It may be different when all components, soft- & hardware, are unknown. But that isn't the case here. >Assume that the fact that Junior8 is a better software >add another 50 elo. I believe that - against GMs - it doesn't matter that much *which* of the top programs it is. They are very narrow to each other in strength currently. Also I would not expect that the latest Junior is 50 elo better than H8, against humans. Among computers, see for example these rating lists: http://www.pcschach.de/Ranglisten/ranglisten.html *Style* may be another issue... maybe even more important for that comparison, than +/- a few computer elos.
