The list looks like great for professionals programs. If you add more programs in a list the results are not the same. It's clear that this is not possible (to add 50 new programs in this list). I believe that the most professionls make little tunings against other professionals or strong engines. Example: Shredder 6 results against Ruffian (Shredder make on my chess system 42%). Shredder 7 results against Ruffian (Shredder make over 60%). Do you believe Shredder 7 is now over 100 ELO stronger compare to Shredder 6? I don't believe that newer Ruffian versions are 50 ELO stronger. After my opinion 30 ELO but Per-Ola fixed some bugs (e.g. time managment, endgame). It's possible that Ruffian is under ChessBase GUIs 50-75 ELO stronger. I played different test games against Hiarcs and Junior and the results are clearly better under ChessBase GUIs (Dual Pentium III, 733 MHz). On my other system I haven't installed Fritz 8 only ChessBase 7.0 and test only under WinBoard and Arena GUI. I have more interest on WB engines, like Delfi, Knight Dreamer, The Baron, Smarthink and other amateurs. Best Frank
