Critter 1.6 better than Fritz, Equinox and Gull?
Deep Shredder 13 better than Xiphos?
And so on ...

Looks like a lottery.
Not to me.

The probability of an engine that is 200 elo better to be in a better place in the list is clearly more than 90% and not 50%.
I think that there is no single case when A is more than 400 elo better than B and the list have B in a better place than A.
Thoose things are enough to talk about a lottery:

Code: Select all

30. Deep Fritz 10 4CPU                   24/111   ---   2676*
31. Deep Onno 1-2-70 4CPU                23/111   ---   2793* <---
32. SOS 5.1 1CPU                         22/111   ---   2382* <---
33. Comet B68 1CPU                       19/111   ---   2202*
34. Pharaon 3.5.1 4CPU                   19/111   ---   n/a
35. LittleGoliath2000 2.9a 1CPU          18/111   ---   n/a
36. Nimzo 2000b 1CPU                     16/111   ---   2286*
* = CEGT 40/4 + ...
No.
The Elo ratings do have significant positive correlation with the results in this suite. The results in the suite are not random with respect to the ratings.
