That was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. It's not the same humans, and not the same machines, so how could you compare it? These ratings are SSDF ELO, just like we have USCF ratings and FIDE ratings. You can't compare them because they are based on different tournaments, with different participants. A player with a higher rating is probably better than a player with a lower rating, on the same list. The higher the difference, the higher the probability. That's it. The individual numbers mean nothing. Bo Persson bop2@telia.com
