Geez, I'm not sure what you mean by that statement.  It seems obvious to me that
the SSDF ratings are not comparable to FIDE ratings.  If they were then I guess
what you are saying is right.  Do you actually believe that Shredder on a 1200
Mhz cpu would carry a 2800+ Elo in human events over several hundred games?
Just curious.
