2800 SSDF has absolutely _nothing_ to do with 2800 FIDE, regardless of any
rating adjustments they try to make. As Dann already pointed out, you'd need
more games than any humans care to play against all of the computers to figure
out an approximate FIDE rating. Besides, in SSDF the computers are only playing
the computers, and in FIDE the humans are only playing the humans, so not only
are they different rating pools which can't be compared, they measure different
things.
