I think computer account ratings are ok when you don't see them as ratings for a specific engine (which they aren't). It depends on the user if it's a mix of various hard/software, or the same engine on the same pc always. Basically, the computer server elo reflects the true (!) success of the *account* among all other accounts on that server. Some people probably see it as a hardware & user skills competion. Which engine should "noplay" which, what settings are more successfull, etc. Made for fun. Regards, Mike Scheidl
