Go up one level in this thread


Hi Bertil!

Speaking as someone with insider knowledge of the SSDF ratings, do you think
that, at the top end, the ratings might have become too high?

In the past, did you used find that, once the SSDF list had been calibrated
correctly, the ratings tended to stay at about the correct level by themselves,
or, when you tested against human players, did you then have to make significant
corrections to the scale?

At the moment, there seem to be quite a few people about who strongly feel that
the top end of the SSDF list has gone too high (in relation to the FIDE Elo
rating list) - and that maybe the top computer programs should be rated more in
the region of 2450 than 2696.

What are your feelings on the subject?

Thanks for your time and thoughts on this.
