I can't remember previous infos about the Karpov 2294 (the rating question for
it comes up then and when, also on other message boards). But I think it is
built around old NOVAG technology and -program. *Maybe* (I'm not sure at all)
it's the NOVAG Ruby/Emerald, the predecessor of the Sapphire/Diamond I.

But I remember having read something like this. The ratings given by
manufacturers are usually "optimistic", even for the USCF rating scale.

Maybe Kurt Kispert will read this and have a better answer. He also has these
old SSDF chess computer ratings, where you will probably find the SSDF elo of
that other computer, when we know which one it really is:

(before the rating adjustment of -100)
