First, there is no way to find out if your computer and the one chessbase used to do their test are the same, it's not always about the processor, but there might be other things like ram, or hash table or if you were multitasking, or your computer might have inferior setup compare to chessbase's one, and so on. chess is a funny game, computer chess is funnier. ;) pavs
