I believe this was the last version of "Winboard rating list", a long time before CEGT or CCRL started!
The good and olt times!
Djordje and myself in background contact a lot of programmers for make Winboard more and more interesting!
With Kai and Christian Koch we played many nice tournaments and Tim Mann have bigger problems
to add all the information about new engines on his site.
I will added the games, later this day in my download selection.
Sure, million of chess peoples have interest to download this material for Stockfish tunings??!
Bob Hyatt was not a big fan from Bionic if I remember!
That's going too far.

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS
In the last three years I made a lot with the older chess computers and have many fun here.
Perhaps now it's time to search a Pentium III system and install Windows NT and all the material from Winboard times. A vintage selection with nice tourneys can be very interesting.
I have ideas for an interesting web page about it.
All the material from Winboard times I have on backup CDs.
For the moment I have not time for it, but I am quit sure that I will do that later.
The big deal.
All what's development in computer chess will be never lose.
I believe this was the last version of "Winboard rating list", a long time before CEGT or CCRL started!
The good and olt times!
Djordje and myself in background contact a lot of programmers for make Winboard more and more interesting!

Back then the engines were evenly matched with strong human players, so I imagine that the level of the rating list was pretty accurate in human terms, assuming some effort was made to make the level of the list realistic. Crafty 15/16 is at 2480 on what we would now consider pathetic hardware. But on the current CCRL 40/15 list, the lowest Crafty, 20.11, is only at 2502 on vastly superior hardware. If the old rating was accurate in human terms, a very much improved Crafty on maybe ten times as fast hardware should easily be over 2700 in human terms. But I think you believe, as do I, that engines with ratings like 2500 or so on the current CCRL list are actually overrated vs. humans. So what is the explanation? Could it really be that many modern engines which would beat the old ones easily are actually weaker vs. humans? If so this really shakes confidence in engine vs engine rating lists. Or have ratings of humans actually deflated by hundreds of elo in two decades? Or something else?
