Hello Tony, Thanks for your comments. First if you have ever adjusted the rating list upwards I have never seen it. I suspect it was very early in the testing stages to get close to a percieved parity with human play. I also suspect that if all the adjustments are combined the result is definitely down. I also suspect the reason is because of the exageration of comp/comp games which keeps making the top ratings higher that they would be if actually calibrated to human ratings. That is all the point I was trying to make. You ARE trying to make the ratings resemble human ratings and not JUST trying to compare computers to computers. The error bars are probably accurate to the data they are fed with. I see no reason for them to be wrong although I have not tried to check them. Would you explain exactly what Thoralf has told all testers to do or not do? Can you tell what exactly is the organization method of creating the data. Jim
