I agree with your assessment. Here is the complete data: http://www.icdchess.com/ccc/message.html?87717 First: Most people will quote the 2492 number and say computers are near GM. IMHO. The data supports you. First, on the AMD and Intel 350 or less, I agree that program performance based on this data is IM (2400 to 2500): AMD K6II-350 TPR = 2427, PII-350 TPR = 2432 Now take a look at the data for the AMD K6II/K6III 400 and above performance (GM strength of 2500 and above): AMD K6III-400 TPR = 2591 Opp Avg = 2795 (+0 =1 -1) AMD K6II-450 TPR = 2605 Opp Avg = 2398 (+2 =2 -0) AMD K6III-600 TPR = 2537 Opp Avg = 2537 (+2 =4 -2) Very impressive and above 2500 for 16 games against opponents rated 2398 to 2795! :) All the games were played over an 8 month period! The data for the PII 450+ over three games is the other side of the coin: PII-400 TPR = 2466 Opp Avg = 2466 (+0 =1 -0) PII-450 TPR = 1785 Opp Avg = 2585 (+0 =0 -1) PIII-500 TPR = 1666 Opp Avg = 2486 (+0 =0 -1) So the pundants have three games on the less than GM (under 2500) side IMHO. :) So the Rebel/AMD K6II/III - 400 - 600 performed much better than the Rebel PII/III - 400 - 500, Although the Intel boxes had far fewer games. :) IMHO: Rebel/AMD K6II/III 400MHZ and above playes close to 2550 performance and can perform close to 2600 performance ratings. :) IMHO: The computer performance in the Isreal League play will have similiar and perhaps better (as much as 100 points better IMHO). :) Best Regards, Chris Carson
