I think it is not the same with chess programs, and as an example, Chess genius
2 beat turbo King 2 at every single game (CG2 was on a 386/33). And that turbo
King had been beating many other programs most of the time, e.g. Psion by R.
Lang, CM2100, Zarkov, Novag scorpio! But come Chess Genius 2 on a 386 33mhz, and
it lost every single game even at time odds, and even when started in a bad
position to CG2 against TK in a good position, in middle of a game.
