Timothys statement reads like that it is a certainty that >CM6000 is 70-80 points overrated. The statement margin of error means plus or >minus NOT MINUS. It could also mean the rating will stay around the same after >900 games. The exact statement is as follows. I would only take what Tim says with a grain of salt, I have not read one positive remarks from him about CM6K being number one. It clearly show that he is unhappy about it, and his posts reflect that. And as someone else started, CM6K played machines that it clearly beat 16-2 and lost quite a few points, and he states that if it did not play that program its points would have been higher. I think it is time to give CM6K its dues for being number one. Unless Fritz is on top, everyone seems to complain, you were not here, but it was the same when Hiarcs surprised everyone and was at number one.
