In my opinion SSDF does not need more external validation (some human games are included in the ratings). However, here is a proposal. Given college tournaments like this: Pan American (Final Rankings avg rating: 2185): 1 "Nickoloff,Bryon" 2513 2 "Schleifer, Mike" 2440 3 "Djerkovic, Mladen" 2314 4 "Livshits, Ron" 2529 5 "Milicevic, Goran" 2402 6 "Goldenberg, Danny" 2307 7 "Charbonneau, Pascal" 2355 8 "Hacat, Kevork" 2208 9 "Filipovich, David" 2350 10 "Cummings, David" 2442 11 "Zybura, Andre" 2024 12 "Divljan, Igor" 2196 13 "Vujic, Branimir" 2271 14 "Bluvshtein, Mark" 2259 15 "Ochkoos, Jura" 2364 16 "Hunter, Mory" 2012 17 "Mitrovic, Milan" 2304 18 "Dougherty, Michael" 2368 19 "Golts, Roman" 2282 20 "Meinrenken, Echard" unr. 21 "Rositsan, Boris" 2270 22 "Wight, Keith" 2155 23 "Chu, Stefanie" 2078 24 "Dixon, Frank" 2069 25 "Buscar, Michael" 1970 26 "Xu, Sheng-Jun" 2132 27 "Hevey, David" 1253 28 "Vassanji, Anil" 2002 29 "Ruiz, Richard" 2143 30 "Sherman, Alan" 1765 31 "Rolfe, Warrick" 2120 32 "Le, Ken" 1938 33 "Manalo, Pepin" 1872 34 "Campbell, Brett" 2248 35 "Jung,Hans" 2311 36 "Vaingorten, Yaaqov" 2192 Play Tiger (or any other SSDF program) using two machines (P-200mmx and AMD K-2 450) and see if they score as expected (within two error of measures). Yes, I would like to see stronger competition, but this would provide some information. Just a thought. :) My opinion: Tiger would rule this tournament on both machines and score above the SSDF rating. :) How do you think your favorite program would fair? How slow of a machine would be needed to give the players a chance? I think Crafty did this a couple of years ago on a Ppro 200 and did not loose a game. :) Note: not every player on the above list performed as expected acording to rating (lots of variability in human ratings). :) Best Regards, Chris Carson
