From what I have seen testing "old programs", I don't know of one old program that would be any match for Deep Fritz, GambitTiger, or ChessTiger. Even Fritz 5.32 the best of the not too old programs has no chance of besting the Top 3 on the SSDF list on faster hardware. The only embarassing thing that would happen is some programmers have put out newer version of their program with little or no strength increase. > >BTW, in passing, no version of wchess or zarkov ever played deep blue, much >less drew with it.
