Here is Sarah's rating list From another post: 2 Deep Fritz 7 : 2669 42 40 194 60.8 % 2593 34.0 % 13 Ruffian 1.0.0 : 2597 57 41 150 50.3 % 2595 32.7 % 41 Fritz 4.01 : 2455 35 41 217 41.5 % 2514 36.9 % 44 Fritz 5.00 : 2418 42 40 187 34.5 % 2530 36.9 % 46 Junior 4.6 : 2387 42 42 163 31.9 % 2519 41.7 % You can see that Deep Fritz7 is almost 300 elo better than Junior4.6 that was the champion in the end of 1997. The best program of the time of Deep blue seems to be Fritz4.01 so I do not understand why Fritz4 failed in the ssdf when Fritz5 was leading that list. Even relative to Fritz4 Deep Fritz7 is more than 200 elo better. Uri
