And _nothing_ I know of says that USCF = FIDE+100. In fact, Ken Sloan (in the CIS department) did a detailed study and found that above 2400 or so the ratings are far closer than that He published that in r.g.c.c about 2 years ago. It hasn't changed that I know of. > >This is not the first time that when corrected on a piece of Deep Blue >information, you acknowledged mistake, then immediately went back to repeating >it. This is not the first time you make an error in a statement, then refer to the original error as fact. DT had a rating of about 2600 USCF over 25 consecutive games. You can find the exact details in the JICCA announcement where they were awarded the prize. You really have this 'envy' thing going, don't you? > > >>No, I doubt any program would win more than an occasional rare game vs DB >>at blitz. "scratchy" played on ICC a while and had the best win/lose record >>of all time. That was only deep thought.
