Yes I think I read he uses games posted from many different sources which come
from many different platforms and time controls although all are fairly long.
I'd agree with your comment except that 1. it correlates well with the Vankempen
list Uri quoted before and 2. most engines have played 1000's of games which
could reduce the variability you are referring to. If you don't agree with the
numbers the order seems logical. For instance Deep Sjeng 1.6 is quoted at 2558
elo with 2615 games played. If you add 50 points to all ratings the 2608 rating
is very similar to the VanKempen rating list of 2594 using a more controled
environment.
