You're right about most being already rated by SSDF. What we're really looking
at is a promotion for the Resurrection and hopefully giving a prodding to the
actual vendors to stop re-hashing their 12 year old programs. But the strongest
dedicated I have is a Mephisto Berlin Pro; not really up to challenging the
Resurrection. However, Chess Genius 3 on my 486/25 laptop ought to do a lot
better -  Genius 3.0 486/50-66 MHz has a SSDF rating of 2256. Of course, I'd
have to transfer the moves from the 486 to a internet-connected
computer...either way I wanna play, too! :)
