Still I have to note that a) these are just estimates based on performance in the Louguet suite (which inflates ratings for programs such as LGG2) and b) I do not explicitly call them "Elo" ratings because that would spark yet another discussion whether computers are already at that level against humans (and I wisely stay out of that :-). Think of it as "Computer ELO" without any real significance with regard to their performance against humans. --- Shep
