Hi Christophe,

   I have found the following LCT-II test results on the internet.

                        PIII-450            PIII-550

 Chess Tiger 12.0                            2655
 Hiarcs 7.32                                 2655
 Nimzo 7.32                                  2565
 Junior 5.0              2565                2560
 Fritz 5.32              2525
 Crafty 17.04            2530


I,ve done of my own LCT-II testing on my K6-2 475 and my results correlate well
with the above results for Hiarcs,Nimzo,Junior and Fritz. I also have a P-90 and
my results were in line with the SSDF list. There does seem to be a divergance
between LCTII and SSDF list for sum programs on new machines.
The big surprise is Fritz well over 100 PTs different from SSDF.

 The problem I see with test sets is that they are not benchmarked to humans(at
least I haven't seen any) and that each problem is weighted the same. Of course
there also is usually not enough problems too. Having said that my favorite is
the LCT-II and I am hoping a LCTIII comes out.
