Maybe the SSDF didn't like the idea of >Hiarcs winning it on a superfast Sparc ? The idea is to have fair circumstances to get the best statistical data to interpret ! Do we want to measure the fastest hardware ? Than there is no need to play chess. ONE look into the operating-manual and we would know. No need to fly or travel to PARIS. We could fax David Levy all our machines operating-manuals and he declares the winner of the championship by looking which one has the fastest hardware. > >2.

This year, we have the forum, hardware advantage is the major issue; >therefore it gets discussed. You two guys are here discussing and you >two guys are using 750 TeraHertz.
