Hi jerry:you obviously have got the gist of your message mixed up:it is
essentially hardware that is powering junior to such great levels; just as it
was the deeper blue 2 with 3-4 times as powerful hardware as db 1 which finally
manged to thrash kasparov.

you don't really believe that junior 6 on a single pentium 600 with 64 megs of
ram would have gone anywhere do you?
