Hyatt has claimed many times that a Nodes Per Second Factor of one thousand times would not be overcome by the program with the less Nodes per second.In this Experiment it was shown conclusively that this is false .Although I played 4 games ,I do not think the result would have been different if I had played a hundred more.Time Control 40 MOVES IN 2 HOURS followed by sudden death in 1 hour.Hardware: GNU CHESS 4.11 a program from 1996 ran a celeron 1.8 Gig machine ;Chess Tiger on Palm ran on the Palm Tungten E.NODES PER SECOND:ON THE AVERAGE:CHESSTIGER ON PALM 500 per second ,GNU CHESS 4.11 500000 per second on the celeron 1.8 Gig.1000X DIFFERENCE.Hyatt and some other people have always argued about the supremecy of DeepBlue based on its speed.I think these days these arguments are false;and Speed does not mean as much as it used to.Deep blue would be crushed by todays program's.A lot of STRENGTH is EVALUATION FUNCTION.Take a look at these games: Match ended in 2-2 draw.
