   At the risk of bringing up a possibly old subject, does anyone
   have a reliable chess rating for gnuchess running on a Sun 3/50?
   I would especially be interested in any tests done by people
   not assiciated with gnuchess (no offense, but I never trust the
   manufacturer's specifications;-)  

   Thanks in advance.

On a SUN **4/50** GNU Chess defeated a CRA-rated program
of USCF 2265. The real rating for that one was probably 2220.
The score was 7-3. It is possible to extrapolate this data
downwards towards a 3/50. Be sure to contract the rating
difference isnce it is computer-vs-computer. 4 to 3 contraction
should do it.

It sure has to be extrapolated downwards quite a bit. I'm writing this
on a 3/50, just after I've been working on a Sparc. The 3/50 seems to
have trouble even to run rn at an acceptable speed...

 Could someone explain to me how the USCF ratings relate to the ELO ratings ?
 I understand ELO ratings, and have an idea which strength they indicate, but
 something like 2265 USCF-points (or 10, or 1,000,000) means nothing to me.

     Thanks in advance,

                            Henk.
