i wish you were not right , but you are .pondering on can make huge difference .one case would be . 1. program A makes a predicted move by program B .the time control is 30 sec move ave .program A in this case used 45 sec ,program B moves instantly ,just for this game lets say program B plays a different move than predicted by program A .now program A is forced to start from scratch #1 burn more time #2 allow program B to look further and further ahead .now depending on a programs ability to prdict the other programs moves and the simplicity of the position .it could turn out to be worth as much as 200 + elo ,especialy when you factor in time trouble .there are lots more situations where this could create problems .so i guess 1 machine is not a real way to test program elo .
