I don't know what is the explanation, but the performance of Mchess 8 in my tournament reflects quite well what I think of it in terms of strength. The difference between my tournament and the SSDF list may be due of course to the relatively small number of games I play, but also to the fact that I play all programs on identical platforms and with the maximum RAM they can allocate for hashtables. I just looked at the games posted by the SSDF with both opponents playing on P200MMX machines. These 376 games would give the following relative ratings: #Games Elo Hiarcs 6 84 141 Fritz 5 336 106 MCP 7.1 90 59 Genius 5.0 92 19 Shredder 2.0 80 -12 Rebel 9 30 -38 Comet-A.90 40 -281 As you can see, this has little to do with the SSDF list. I don't mean to say that this proves anything at all. There are few games played by R9 and Comet, many of the games played by the SSDF on equal P200MMX are not posted, etc. Still, the difference is quite striking. >I think 40/40 in P400 is quite >equal to 40/2h in 200MMX and results should be close to SSDF. 40/40 on PII-400s is very close to 40/120 on P200MMX.
