The tournament would have had an "*" against it no matter what. How would Fritz
8 have been the "World Champion" or "best" program in the world, when it wasn't
playing on standard PC equipment? The only way to determine the "best" program
is to standardize the platform on which they all play.

Personally, I think this should be on the type of PC that is most common in use
amongst the general public.

After all, we already had a program that ran on equipment that no mortal would
ever own - Deep Blue, and what was the point of that?
