I think *all* the SSDF games are comp-comp games (if I am wrong >I would like to be corrected by an authoritative source). The *level* of the list is based on 337 games played against humans in serious tournaments between 1987 and 1991. The relative ratings are based only on comp-comp games, played on the tournament levels. > If you get a faster processor, the same program will (most likely) get a higher >rating. I doubt SSDF will rate the same program on two different processors, but >technically it is posible (they would be separate entries with different >ratings). When we change hardware we use to play 5-6 programs on the old as well as on the new hardware, in order to get information about how many rating points the hardware in average gives. Hopefully we can do so next time also. Thoralf Karlsson
