Yes, I think that todays programs could beat the snot out of the old programs on slower hardware even with queen odds. I am sure that somebody out there with old systems will post the results. The same can be done with knight or bishop odds when pitting Fritz 6a on a 800 Mhz Athlon against Gnuchess on a 66 Mhz 80486. Tim Frohlick
