No argument there, but 99% of the users have ordinary single chip machines, so
one should be careful going around telling them that program X is better than Y
because X did well in a tournament and then not mention it played on better
hardware.

That is what I dislike about these open hardware tournaments, people tend to
forget the hardware and only remember the program, and when there are that many
almost equally strong programs hardware certainly becomes an issue.
