Is there such a thing as a performance rating, and a provisional rating? All other things being equal, two computers that are both capable of 2 ply searches, and make their moves accordingly, with absolutely no regard to positional nuances, only material differences, ought to be rated 1200. If they are capable of 3 ply searches, then their ratings ought to be rated 1300. Similarly, a computer capable of a 4 ply search should be rated 1400. By allowing computers to play against live humans, an exponential standard of sorts could be established for measuring human excellence.
