It's still early! But I have to disagree with the second half of your point number 2, because, CM6K picked up some rating points off of Fritz3/66 because it won more convincingly than most other programs did (except, some program beat it 3-0). And I THINK that it actually lost some rating points by beating SPARC 20 16-2. That is, if you exclude the SPARC 20 16-2 win, the CM6K rating might be even higher. Hey,these are from my rough calculations, and I'm no expert on the rating system, so I'm asking someone to correct me if I am wrong.... I might be asking a question here more than trying to make a point. :) Thanks, Eric
