I've been told that Vaganian won, bringing the final score to 2.5-2.5.  A nice
result for the computers - certainly better than I expected.

But, keep in mind that CilkChess played on a 240-processor Alpha machine, while
Ferret, Fritz, and Junior played on quad-Xeons.  Only Shredder played on a
single CPU machine.

What you saw today was a glimpse of what commercial programs will be able to do
on single-CPUs in perhaps 3 years.

By the way, where were you after the Rebel-Rohde game?   :-)
