ICC maintains a set of records for highest-ever ratings. just type 'help record' to see the highest- ever rated computer or human. And 'identical cpus' doesn't matter one iota on ICC. I run on the quad xeon all the time there. It is a handful for any program that doesn't use multiple cpus. at any time control... The 'help record' high ratings don't care about hardware, software, etc. Just about the highest rating ever hit in a particular time category... whether that is fair or not is another issue altogether... > >>>> >>>>I'm sure there are many other super-GMs who play on ICC, but most of them prefer >>>>to remain anonymous. >>>> >>>> >>>>--Peter >>> >>>cheers
