One problem is that the rating suggests that thinker is weaker than tscp and it is simply nonsense. It is the second strange thing that I find in the rating list(the first strange thing was that I found that amateur is better than Crafty). It seems that the author did not care to look in the list that he published to ask himself for every engine in the list if the rating make sense. Everybody who read thinker's results know that thinker is at least 400 elo better than tscp and the fact that old thinker was probably weaker is irrelevant. Everybody who follow winboard engines know that amateur is weaker than crafty and the fact that amateur was considered to be better based on lypako's rating list is irrelevant so in the case of crafty-amateur even not updating the list seems to be a bad excuse.
