I agree that we can learn more from games with equal hardware but these games are not meaningless. >I have also seen many outstanding results for Tiger, but I can only remember >G/60. Give me (outstanding) results of tournament games on (almost) equal >hardware and I will take back all I said and claim the opposite. :-) I remember that thorsten did some 120/40 games when tiger won Fritz6 and drew with Fritz532.
