Subject: Approximate CM9_Utz12n SSDF Rating estimate (calc) 2716

I took the CM9_Utz12n results (author's website) and looked up the approx.
rating of the opponents, using the latest SSDF list for those opponents which
were rated.  I wagged a rating for the opponents that were not SSDF rated.

I didn't adjust for 1.2M vs 1.3M speed differences.  I did adjust for 450K vs
600, 800 or 1.3 speed differences, using approx. 70 pts for each doubling of
MHz.  I made rough adjustments, in my head for the speed differences.

I didn't *not* adjust for time control at which games were played.

I calculated a Performance Rating Average using the standard +/- 400 rule, and
the results were:

CM9K Default ~2660 SSDF estimate  (would be in top 12 or so)
CM9_Utz12n   ~2716 SSDF estimate  (would be in top 8 or so) --very strong!
   (nice job, Kurt!)

Sorry, SSDF, but I don't have any +/- error of estimate figures.  :)

I know this is a rough cut and may be refined according to personal preferences,
but I think it is a reasonably fair estimate of SSDF ratings for the CM9K
default & the CM9_Utz12n personality, based on the results posted at the
personality author's website.

Have at it, all you math whizzes & logicians!  I did *not* copyright my results,
so you may modify them for your own purposes all you wish!  :)
