Richard says that this is the equivalent to Yes, I fully realize the hardware difference. But TSCP has a trivial evaluation function. It's not well tuned and it's missing critical knowledge. A world-champion program should be able to beat it, even if it has a huge hardware advantage. Another thing is that TSCP was only searching 4 ply for the second game, which translates to a few thousand nodes. So the difference isn't nearly as big as you might think. Besides, the hardware difference does not explain the bizarre moves, or why it was beaten handily by my 1500 friend. I suspect that Genius either has some bugs, or Lang tried to rewrite it from scratch and it will take some time to mature. -Tom
