Hello Uri,

For sure this is not an accurate test. I should have added a few more points.
Maybe these points make the test somewhat more pursuable, still in a fuzzy way,
of course.
-My hardware is about average from the opponent ones.(This is my estimate from
reading several personal info cards from the opponents)
-I've done this test with Deep Fritz 7 a few days ago on the same HW and it
scored >2750 after 100 games. The opponents in both tests were selected
automatically from a pool of about 80 opponents total, where the possibility of
getting an opponent with about the same Elo as myself's actual Elo is very high.

Best regards,
Ralph
