I could try it on my notebook, but I will just have a look at the logfile later. > and had Falcon had the 4x hardware it would have found the correct draw >(and with that hardware advantage probably also found a correct winning line). >Right? That's speculation when it is about the win. You have access to Falcon - show me a winning line found by it with more time. The game was very interesting; I would be interested to discuss and analyze it. Btw, you play with this 4x number very carelessly IMHO. *For Crafty* a Quad Opteron is indeed about four times faster than an overclocked AMD2.5GHz 32 bit system, but that's the result of programming effort. While Shredder seemed to get a very decent speedup, the same was not necessarily true for Fritz and Junior, judging by NPS, although I of course can only compair with commercial versions - Frans Morsch at least seemed to be impressed by Crafty's speedup. You probably will have quite some work to do to reach similar speedups as Crafty once you get your hands on a Quad Opteron :) >>And Ra8 is probably not about search at all. Have you tried this one too ?
