I understand that it's not a simple matter of just coverting the code from a mainframe to Crafty's micro mode, but did it really take that long for you , to put all you have learnt from CB to crafty? Or are you saying that the initally pcs were much slower, so you couldn't put everything you wanted from Cray Blitz to crafty untill much recently? >Do you think Crafty at 7M nodes per second would get rolled over very badly by >fritz at 1M? I don't. The opposite would be more likely.. But i think the assumption was that computers of today including Crafty in 2000 is superior to Cray Blitz becuase of the advancement of new algorithims and better understanding of computer programming in general. Hence the claim that Fritz running at 1M would beat or at least hold Cray Blitz because of it's superior Year 2000 "engine". But now it appears you are stating that Crafty is not a better engine than Cray Blitz despite time passing. And if Crafty is very similar to Cray Blitz now, i would guess that Fritz and the rest would be around the same or at least not so much better that it can make up for the difference in speed..
