I am not saying that the SSDF list Elo is equal to the human Elo, but only that
maybe Junior 9 is not the strongest program in the World as people said after
winning the 2004 WCCC, but for sure it is not weaker than the previous version
as one may would think now.

Most of the time the truth is someway between, so I would guess stronger than
version 8; something like 60-70 points.
