(Meaning that the reusults will be better than 2/3 of the games) What I am implying is that: 1) The rating list has errors because all programs don't get to play "Equal number" of games, with "same opponent". Some play more games (with lower rated or higher rated) players, some plays less games ( " " " " " ). That effects the rating list, if you consider the differance in rating between program 1,2,3..., which is not -very big-. 2)Shredder6 can easily be top, if it gets to play any lower rated program such as crafty, since there is no rules as to which program gets to play which program how many times (there is no such rule in SSDF AFAIK). > > >>We are talking about 107 game here... > >We can agree on that playing 107 games against only one player is not a good >idea. Different opponents is the Doctor's prescription.... > Why not all the programs be lower rated... there is no rules. (refer to point 2). cheers, pavs ps, I am not trying to imply that SSDF list is BAD, but what I am trying to say is that tere seems to be a mistake in the method. I too enjoy the rating list as much as most others. ;)
