Fritz calculates the ELO start list assuming the average ELO is >2350. This is easy to prove by just taking an average of the results. I'm >curious as to why 2 programs played 60 games while the others played 40?? >Jim Walker The tournament is still in progress, so some programs have played more games than others. The lower starting ELO would not account for the different position of Tiger and Shredder on the respective lists. The number of points that separate the programs is also different. Len
