Hi Greg,

Excellent explanation, thanks! All guessed correctly. Perhaps we should add some
info like this to the pages.

>Column 6: Av. Op. bayeselo
>The average ELO rating of opposing engines, but not adjusted to make Shredder
>2750.  This would be more useful if the adjusted ELO were given here.

Good point about unadjusted "Av. Op. Bayeselo" column. Actually I only now
noticed that is is not adapted to Shredder 9, although I construct that table..
:-) I'm too used to zero-centered ratings.

>Column 9: Lost on time or crashed
>Number of times the engine lost on time or crashed.  I do not know if this
>includes the number of draws when crashing or running out of time, assuming
>games are adjudicated as draws if there is insufficient material to mate.

Correct here too. All those "crashed" or "lost on time" games are _not_ used for
rating calculations. Those games are even not included in the database that can
be downloaded from our pages.

I now removed this column, since it is not directly related to ratings, and is
simply a statistics (even not precise) about how many times an engine crashed or
lost on time in our tests. May be it will be available as a separate table in
future, if someone will need it.

Thanks for input,
Best,
Kirill
