Of course.  Since the hardware was published, that is clear.  However, the
opponent has a known and very good rating.  Just pretend that Nimzo isn't Nimzo,
but rather a chess player who lives in a black box named Wally (the box is named
Wally, the player is anonymous).  Anyway, this player has an ELO of 2572 in his
club of very good players!!!  Now, Wally plays against C.T. and gets his ever
loving butt kicked.  Are you impressed now?  I know I am.

>Show us this on equal machines :)
Better yet, reverse the machines and try again.  I'll suspect Chess Tiger may
win on the P200 (but it will be a lot closer).  In order for a really
significant statistical test, hundreds of games should be played.

One thing is clear, Tiger has teeth, claws, and knows how to use them.

Proposal to those who don't like unequal hardware:
Pretend that it is not a computer opponent at all but a faceless guy who is a
great tactician but not such a great strategist; who has a high ELO and will
play for hours on end.  He's kind of boring and won't talk about anything
interesting.  All he does is play all day.  He doesn't get his feelings hurt
when he loses and does not get excited when he wins.  So his feelings don't get
hurt.

But don't think that way about Chess Tiger.  I think she's a girl.  So pretend
it's a lady in the box.  Am I right C. T.?
