I suspect that >it is possible to calculate, but does anyone here know how to do it? Why don't we forget about absolute ratings and make them program-relative instead? The SSDF list would look like this: T12 0 F532 -25 N732 -33 N99 -52 H732 -60 J5 -77 It has the advantage of being equally informative about the relative strength of programs, without giving a FIDE-like rating that is anybody's guess and way too inflated anyway. Does it make sense to believe that Tiger (2696) is as strong as Karpov (2705) and Kasparov (2715) during the 1984 World championship match? Enrique
