I have no problem with this and don't care about Elo ratings
for computers. For me all the lists available are only a
measurement to have a comparison but whether Shredder 8 has
2700 or 2600 ELO points does not interest me. The only thing
that counts for me is the relation between the many engines
on the basis of hundred/thousands of games.
