I am just pointing out that the stability of Fritz rating as asserted by Enrique is somewhat of an illusion. That doesn't mean his position is false, simply that that single fact, cited to support his position, might or might not support him if the ratings for Fritz were calculated against the rest of the SSDF pool in segments of 250 games (I pick 250 as an arbitrary large number). You MIGHT then see a substantial rating decline, and just eyeballing the Fritz numbers supplied by Enrique supports this idea. You would have to do the calculations, of course, to see how extensive this decline was. But...even if the ratings were shown to decline over time, that doesn't necessary make the SSDF ratings flawed. As we all know, GM players book up against each other and study each other's games for flaws, and any GM player that doesn't do so will see their rating decline. Roger
