Go up one level in this thread

   I've got a Novag Expert, dating back to 1985. A faithful old friend
 of mine.
   I just now did a little calculation based on the theory about a 70
 elo point increase in playing strength for every doubling of clock speed.
   If I could get the program out of my Novag Expert and put it on a
 floppy disk, it would play at about 2680, right up there with the best
 of them. Does this mean there have been no improvements in chess
 programming in the lasst 17 years?
   I suggest the theory is flawed. The truth is that it works for a
 few doublings, then there is a diminishing return.
