As has been pointed out to me, the different patchlevels of GnuChess can solve the 6-ply opening position search problem in radically different times. For PL 60, my RS/6000 finished the search in 27 seconds. For PL 61, the time was 12 seconds (Stuart, what magic hath thou wrought?). For Gnu 3.1, the time is 9 seconds. Use the appropriate time value when calculating the adjusted rating for your hardware. Actually, if people want to run this test and send me the time info (include patchlevel and hardware info), I'd be happy to keep an archive of the information. Also, it may be time to retest gnu against my Fidelity Mach III to verify the baseline - the new releases may be substantially stronger.
