I sincerely doubt it. If you look at the vast quantity of specialised chess
hardware and IBM SP nodes, added to the outstanding reputation and experience of
the Deep Blue development team, and of course the brilliant result against
Kasparov, it is clear that DBII was something rather special. Given that Fritz
on an 8-way SMP box will be orders of magnitude slower than DB, and that the
DBII team are highly-competent chess developers, it seems unlikely that Fritz
has caught up yet. It would be wonderful if IBM were to rebuild the fabulous
machine and take it on a roadshow, if only to resolve this debate for once and
for all. Since Hsu now seems to own the rights to the chess chip in his own
person, someone with enough cash might be able to get something like this
together...
