And this was not one game!! , but Five! 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? :-) --Peter
