Uri, it's simple. "Main" rating list has to be more or less reliable, so it should not have ratings computed on 5 or 10 games. After lot of discussions we decided to draw the line at 300 games, bases on our capacity and on lot of statistical fluctiations that happen even at 1000 games and more. >Leading does not mean best so I see no problem with claiming that 64-bit is >leading(in this case we can say that 64-bit is also better than 32-bit based on >the knowledge that the only difference between 64-bit and 32-bit is speed) Most likely 64-bit version will lead in the next list update (on Sunday), but currently we are simply following our policy to not seriously discuss anything based on less than 300 games. You know, if we start speculations we will never know where to stop. Best, Kirill
