Can someone explain to me the system for describing a chess skill level?
Also, has anyone compiled a list of software packages and their skill?  I'm
sure that the "grading" is ambiguous, but I'm still interested in hearing,
for example, how SARGON III on the PC ranks compared with other human and
machine chess masters.
