But I imagine that there will be other strong engines that will end up in lower places just because of being crushed by the hardware power of their opponents. In this tournament, despite having inferior hardware, Deep Sjeng drew Fritz, Jonny drew Junior, IsiChess drew Fritz, Deep Sjeng drew Crafty, Jonny drew Shredder, Falcon beat Fritz, Jonny drew Diep, IsiChess drew Junior, ParSOS beat Crafty, and Falcon drew Shredder. What would have happened had all engines ran on equal hardware...?
