Then we could get some stats on whether, say, >a +7 score out of 40 is statistically unusual, etc. On the question of old engines being competitive, I'd like to point out that the latest SSDF list shows Fritz 5.32 on a P200 scoring 5½-42½ against the top-ranked Shredder 9. That's better than 10% and shows that what you're doing is still valid and worthwhile, although most people might rather see comparisons among the top 5. Cheers, Chuck
