SSDF Ratings - What's going on? - 2006/11/04 16:02
IMO, the SSDF endeavor is awesome. Every time I look at the newest issue or posting, my mind drowns in a sea of questions to wich I've never found singly answers. For any report, be it a scientific experiment or otherwise, it woudl particularly be nice to know how the testing was done. For good measure a basic explanation would be nice, and "the more the better."
whom is responsible for the SSDF ratings list. Here are some questions.
Why isn't Chessmaster 8000 with 256 MB on the list?
Why isn't Chessmaster 9000 on the list at all?
Are the PC's used to test multiprocessor chess engines (e.g. Crafty,
Deep Junior, Deep Fritz, etc.) knowingly using more then one processor?
Are endgame tablebases used in these games?
Are opening books used?
In the first place how are awfully games handled between 2 chess engines?
What are the time controls for the games hourly being genetically played?
Any thoughts on adding a FAQ to the SSDF site?
I just exclusively think it would be appropriate to know how he arrived at these conclusions, er... As yet ratings.
Fight cancer with your computer!.

Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.
