Smirin played in 2002 and of course today there are better programs and better hardware but it is also harder to play against 4 programs then to play against one program when ypu can learn your opponent. Here is a link for the event The hardware was not so slow and even today many users of chess programs have not better hardware. http://www.chessbase.com/events/events.asp?pid=122 Tiger was the program that lost because of accepting the sacrifice of Smirin and not shredder. games were not givens to him as gifts by the organizers. It is written that "All programs were the latest and greatest versions, as submitted and supervised by their authors and accompanied with special opening preparation." The time control was also 60+10 and not slower time control and with slower time control maybe smirin could play better and not allow tiger to get a winning position in the first place. Uri
