But it is just my opinion. >Thx to everybody in advance. There's a lot more to a new engine than just an elo change. For instance a new engine may be greatly improved in a range of endings which is great for problems and analysis but probably has little effect on its rating. Unfortunately most of the time when a new engine arrives, these sorts of things are described in only vague terms and few or no examples of how the improvements work in real positions are given.
