Hi Greg :-),

okay, I can tell that number one is currently Deep Shredder 9 2 CPU 512MB, so
some hardware advantage over Fruit 2.2 with 1 CPU and 256 MB. Moreover this are
only a few ELO points and it is based on only 150 games.

You know that we "hide" engines with less than 300 games from now onwards
because of the nasty discussions and speculations that arose here.

We are also aware that this is a pity for the authors of engines who want to
know beforehand where their new version stays currently and so I offered to give
them a "secret" link to an all games / all versions rating list on request.

Maybe CEGT testers will still discuss a better solution, because no one is
really happy with this one.

Best Regards
Heinz
