Hello George, Actually, given that Fritz 5.32 has played so many games, its rating is probably quite accurate. The aim of matching engines with Fritz 5.32 is to obtain a means of calibration. Should Elo values be computed from a changing pool then the error bars on the ratings would make them useless for comparison purposes. This would seem to be an approach consistent with sound statistical analysis to me. Later.
