Since Rebel played several matches with strong GMs at standard time controls around the turn of the century, performing a bit below 2700 I would estimate if we rate them all together, my question is this: What FIDE rating would you expect "Benjamin" to earn in similar matches now, running on a typical i7 (say the reference hardware for CCRL), given that Benjamin is an improved version of those older engines and the hardware is much better now (even if perhaps some of those old Rebels ran on 2 or even 4 threads for those matches, I don't have that info)? How much better is Benjamin, and how much better is the hardware (allowing for Benjamin using only one thread)? This would help determine the human equivalent (at 40 moves in two hours) of the CCRL ratings of engines in the ballpark of 2700. You would probably be the best person to make this judgment.
Here is Ed's reply. Ed will not post here.
I guess I missed the action. Why is Ed not posting here?
As many of us are transitioning to a better forum.
I've heard that one before. As a rule better forum = a forum where I make the rules.

And they already started fighting! A worthy CTF successor, for sure.
They seem particularly pissed off that people calling you names were not treated with the respect they thought that deserved. It was really insulting to them to be publicly told they couldn't do that; they feel more at home at a place where name calling is properly revered.

Sounds like sour grapes. No more Mr. Shut it down. Ed shut you down.

Took a quick peek over there. First thoughts? What a marvelous and even tempered group of fellows. I’m sure Ed is overjoyed that he has attracted the cream of the crop of talkchess.

I guess your irony detector has a huge failure, or your ego is in the way...
This thread has a funny twist now ;-)
