Here is a quote from ICC: quote on=================================================== DIEP(C DM)(64): because they claimed having 'solved' chess and people like hyatt supporting that indirectly (by saying that nothing ever can get better than that old program) quote off================================================== This is _another_ case where I want to see a _specific_ quote, or a specific citation for an article where I made that statement (nothing can ever get better than DB). I've never said it. I've never implied it. In fact, I have been quoted more than once where I predicted that hardware would eventually take us well beyond DB's speed/performance. My quote was that in 1997, it would take 10+ years for a micro-computer based program to approach DB's speed. Today I can hit 10M nodes per second on a quad opteron, 20M on an 8-way. Probably approaching 40M on a 16-way box. That isn't as fast as DB, but it is in the ballpark. And I still have 3 more years on my "prediction". Next year AMD has promised a dual-core opteron, so that 16-way box will instantly become a 32-way box. 80M if there is no clock speed improvement, yet they say it will be faster via clock as well. So 2007 may be enough time to hit 200M roughly, if not more. But to Vincent, once again, please provide an exact quote with the source, or an exact citation of a paper I wrote, where I made the statement you claimed I made. All I claim is that you are a liar. Here's yet another case to join the JICCA paper you claimed I wrote, the CCC posts you claimed I made, etc. The list is growing. Your credibility is shrinking. Why don't you just adopt the policy of not using _my_ name with your nonsense? I don't exactly drop your name in every conversation I hold. You ought to do the same. You'd look a lot less ignorant.
