I see your point.
And I understand from your post and "Maurizio De Leo's" post that it gets harder
to achieve higher rating by winning against lower rated programs.
I knew that.

But how lower rated?

I was talking about Crafty, Older versions of Fritz and some similar lower rated
players in the SSDF.
Their rating:
                                         Rating
21 Crafty 18.12/CB 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz  2613
20 Fritz 6.0 128MB K6-2 450 MHz           2619

Shredder6 rating is :
2 Shredder 6.0 Paderb 256MB Athlon 1200   2727

Rating differance around 100-110.

Enough differance not to have impact on the rating list if Shredder6 gets to win
significant amount of games against such "lower bound" programs?

We are talking about 107 game here...

Ofcourse that was just an opinion. ;)
