It'd be absurd. But a couple of remarks: a. Your statement seems to imply that such a small number of games proves "the progress". I guess I got you wrong because you always claim a lot of games are needed to make any conclusion. b. If by "progress in chess programming" you mean "software-only progress" (whatever that means -that concept is beyond my understanding, because I always optimize my code for a certain kind of hardware-), no conclusion can be made without testing in both new and old hardware. For example, if Fritz 3 is to be evaluated, 486-33 would be a good hardware to test the programs in. Then, comparing results in both kind of hardware would yield more interesting conclusions. José C.
