Your proposal was to give everyone quad Opterons, so Crafty would play the same moves. So talk about giving Falcon 4x the time, not giving Crafty 1/4th the time. You still didn't answer his question. If Falcon had used 4x the time, would it have avoided the mistakes and avoided losing the game? What about the game vs. Junior? Falcon had a good position and could have at least got a draw. Would 4x the hardware have avoided, say, f5 and played Nf4 instead?
