Some criticism to our continuous interpretations of the SSDF list:
Accounting for the statistical uncertainities, we must conclude that the SSDF
list is not able to determine uniquely a leader.
The below list is for instance very well consistent with the statement that
Nimzo-7.32 is the strongest program.
THE SSDF RATING LIST 1999-11-26 69727 games played by 202 computers
Rating + - Games Won Oppo
------ --- --- ----- --- ----
1 Chess Tiger 12.0 DOS 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2696 44 -40 317 72% 2533
2 Fritz 5.32 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2671 45 -41 297 72% 2506
3 Nimzo 7.32 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2663 37 -35 409 69% 2526
Please do not over-interprete these numbers. A ELO difference of 20 is
essentially nothing.
