True, but my feeling is that a reasonable level of confidence is about plus or
minus 25 elo points for the April 2004 list. The long period of testing since
then would serve to verify or adjust the relative ratings more accurately.

When Shredder, Fritz, and Junior release their next versions, it will become
much more interesting again. I suspect that we'll see 2850 elo next year. Which
one is anybody's guess, but the smart money will be on one of those three. The
others are longshots, but anything's possible - wager, anyone?  :)
