Do you remember Alan Tomalty? Well I know him through his work and and have talked with him, he'd agree with me. Also, I've tested computers myself and have played in rated tournaments, I understand what I'm talking about. So you musn't have a very good grasp what a rating means. It's _not_ a scientific or absolute measuring of strength. It is statistical only and if you understand statistics, you'll understand my meaning of of 50 points up or down have little meaning. However, I know you'll disagree.
