Well i should think some, since that's what the SS is supposed to be about, a rating list based upon ([human vs comp games]+[comp vs comp]) games. So i feel pefectly justified in asking who these humans were, or at least their ratings, and how many. I am very interested, but i'm qaudruply interested because i simply can't believe these ratung jumps. I have Mchess 8 and all of the programs in the SSDF top 10 +rebel 10. Though Mchess is strong it's not nearly 40 points stronger than Fritz or Rebel. R. Takata USCF Life Master Fide Master
