Gandalf 5 is some 150 Elopoints behind the Topengines. Now Gandalf 6 is about 100 Elopoints stronger, so about 50 Elopoints behind the Topengines. It will score about 2750 SSDF-Elos or maybe "only" 2730. This is according to all (including your) results. Gandalf 6 is greatly improved but still a bit weaker than The Top-Trio. So about what do you complain? regards Joachim
