 That's why I would put aside blitz rating and focus on 'standard' rating (note
that for manual account switching between windows programs is way faster then
switching between blitzin/dos box..). Over 1000 standard games can be
meaningless... so can be 10 game match versus program which source is known and
easy to tune against. But meaningfull for me is absence of Rebel/Tiger icc
accounts, while there are quite a few fritz, Hiarcs and CM accounts.. operators
have little faith or just hating to switch to dos?
