Go up one level in this thread


Hi Bruce

All of that is real interesting, but for me I would rather follow your last bit
of writing and jump up and down and become hysterical at the numbers.

I have been told by many people that no matter what level of opponent you play
as long as you win a certain percentage then you can work things out on that.

Well CM6K has won a certain percentage against these lower rated opponents. And
from some games played against the other top programs in equal hardware and
grounds which have been posted here and where CM6K has won, I think people who
say because CM6K played lower rated programs and  that this result does not
count or is not fair is pure rubbish.

This is the way it is done, and this is the way I will accept it, until the
people who say this result is wrong come up with a better way for the SSDF to
get their rankings.

In the past I have called the SSDF rubbish for how they play their games, but I
have heard from the best that the rankings, while their maybe small errors are
pretty well accurate.

I have never questions their rankings, but I have questioned their non show of
some programs, and still no Rebel 10. So I am pretty happy that now people will
at least have to come to the terms that CM6K is one of the very best chess
engine out their.

Now all we need of for Bob Hyatt to make a freeware engine that can beat the lot
of them, and then we will see how many people get upset that a freeware engine
is the best. well maybe one day bob it will happen.

no one picked Hiarcs7 to top the rankings, and no one picked CM6K to either.
