"might" is the word. you don't know. i don't know. nobody does. but the original poster is quite right: chessbase kept repeating how much better DF is than DB was, chessbase claimed that DF had earned the right to play kramnik by "beating the world's best programs" when it actually only won against one, and hardly convincing at that. that is just all pure propaganda. i read an article in "der spiegel", which says this: <quote> Nichts macht den IT-Fortschritt deutlicher als der direkte Vergleich zwischen den Konfigurationen von IBMs Megarechner Deep Blue (ein Fall für den Lkw-Transport) und dem heutigen Deep Fritz (den man im Kofferraum eines Corsa verstauen könnte). Wer jedoch die Oberhand behalten würde, ließe man die beiden Rechenknechte aufeinander los, daran besteht keinerlei Zweifel. Fritz ist derzeit von keiner Maschine zu schlagen. </quote> given your name i guess you understand this - and i hope you realize that the journalist has written this BS after interviewing the chessbase staff... >So you are an expert. What programs have you written ? and what programs have you written? your user profile certainly doesn't tell me anything about your expertise :-) aloha martin
