We are on a knifes edge here and very close to GM strength with the
fastest Intel single processor (perhaps multi processors on Intel or
Compaq/Dec boxes).  I think we are one ply from super strength programs
(6x speed current Intel box, multi-processors may be there).  Of course
no matter how fast or strong the program/computer is (or how bad I score
against it), I want a stronger chess playing system.  :)  Go figure.  :)
