I'm not sure exactly where I stand on this, but I'm not sure DB was that superior to Fritz & co of today. DB had a speed advantage of 200, but how much is 200 when the search tree grows exponentially! It is less than 4 plies at a branch factor of 4 (if that was in fact the BF of DB?). Four plies, with null move, better move ordering (hash moves, killes, SEE) and "smarter" extensions, years of testing and finetuning, it doesn't sound impossible to me. -S.
