Fernando You can place a great deal of reliance on Eric Hallsworths ratings. I have subscribed to his Selective Search publication for nearly 20 years. Testers submit game scores to him from the USA, England and all over Europe - computer v computer and human v computer. He crosschecks the results he is getting with the Swedish List which also is well regarded. The popular machines/software programmes amass hundreds and some thousands of games, e.g. the Fidelity Mach III elo of 1986 is based on 5473 games. As far as I know Eric does and continues to do the opening book for HIARCS and Palm HIARCS, he may contribute to other programmes, but not as far as I am aware. As for prices, they are always cheaper in the USA :( but if we import them we have to pay 17.5% on top (computer and postage) plus postage, handling, insurance etc and sometimes they are still cheaper!!! All the best Mike
