Talking about PR crap... ...i find it good this PR crap, not that i'm there to increase sales for chessbase, but to get more attention to the chess world again. Because right now everyone still says: "chess is solved by IBM back in 1997". that's what the average scientists thinks about chess. Perhaps 0.0000001% of that damage can be undone now by the same type of misinformation. >On August 09, 2001 at 07:12:11, Tanya Deborah wrote: > >> >> >>Hi! >> >>Is really Deep Fritz running in 8 processors stronger that Deep Blue (97)??? >> >> >>I hear that Deep Fritz 7 will see 5 millions nodes per second.
