I have seen the games on my machine. And i do trust myself :-) There is no need to prove it for you. Fact is that the server shows the hardware of the opponent, the average ply depth, the threads, the K NPS. so i see when somebody has a faster machine. Also i see which engine he uses. Most people on this server play with shredder 8 and fritz8. these are the usual programs you have to play against. i normally do play 3+2 up to 15+3 because i do not like to see senseless games where one side is 3 pawns ahead but loses due to time out. it makes IMO not much sense to MEASURE playing strength using this time controls. IMO you do not measure playing strength but how fast a program plays. the faster moving program is not the stronger program. in the last seconds of a blitz game, the result often changes. this destroys the statistic. blitz games make IMO sense if you play for fun, but not if you want to measure something. the smaller the amount of time is, the smaller IMO the sense of those data. play 1" for a game and you get the time out before the programs left opening book. You cannot really say that this makes much sense to measure strength. if shredder is so strong, why do those people with faster hardware do not win ? seems to be voodoo :-))
