Now if the match is between Human versus computer than I totally agree with you, that the difference should be bigger benefiting the computer, but NOT Comp VS Comp. Finally, the SSDF estimate is way overated, since there is noway possible that Shredder 7 copuld reach 2765 on a mere 1.2 GHz. If that is the case then Shredder 7 or 7.04 should be able to beat any of the top 3 FIDE players 80% of the times on an Athlon XP 3000+. Pichard.
