Hi Tina,

I admit, I'm one of those who are happy to see CM6K up there, but I know better
than to say it is #1 based on the 9 games you mentioned.  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
