I think that Deep Junior 6 (on a Quad 500+ Pentium III) is not much weaker than
Deeper Blue, also if it runs on an hardware 250 times slower..
The difference is that Kasparov could buy Deep Junior 6 and then
find how to beat it...before the true match starts.

Here I agree . National and International federations should let
programs to participate to the tournaments exactly like an human player,
starting from 1400 elo up to 2800+ .. They could also use the learning function
if this file , the latest engine and opening library could be downloaded and
updated before every match (using always the best hardware available..)
So programs could be entities like real players...
