Afaik he has played 120/40 against 1 GHz PIII from a friend of him - anyway,
what you do not understand, hardware is not that important in this issue, there
are positions and playing ideas Eduard shows us from time to time where
different engines play extremely unsound... They do not see the idea behind
those moves, you could give them a 100 GHz CPU and they still play unsound. The
task of the human opponent is to get them into such positions. And that is much
easier when throwing them early out of book and then to prepare the patterns the
engine does not understand. That is the advantage of the human side - you have
ideas in your brain, you know about certain patterns... And Eduard is very good
in such things. Also he has posted in CSS-Forum some month ago quite many 120/40
games against Fritz, Shredder - against almost every professional engine,
including both Tiger. (But he said with both it is not that easy to get them
where he wants, different to Fritz). Wether that is on PIII/600 or Athlon 1800
does not mean that much - if the combination is to deep speed does not help the
engines - knowledge is needed and that's the point where it lacks...

Greets, Thomas
