They are hard to compare. I suspect that Crafty is (or already has) closed the gap between it and CB to a very narrow margin. CB could do 5-7M nodes per second. Crafty can do that on an alpha right now, and then some. Crafty knows some things that CB didn't (king safety is one, some of the endgame things like pawn majorities is also different from CB). > >I think that Crafty on the Beowulf (18 quad*1 Million nodes/second) is the >strongest computer after DeepBlue, am I right ? No idea. I never try to make claims like that. Much easier to just drop it on ICC and see what happens. :) It will definitely be strong. > >Best regard and I wish you very positive results with this new project ! Nothing like keeping busy. :)
