For several months I ran Ferret on a P5/133 at maybe 1/4 second per move, with no pondering. It played only rated 5 0 blitz and had a pretty good record against IM's on ICC, with an average rating of perhaps 2300 and a peak of over 2500. One thing is that when you move so fast, you put tremendous pressure on your opponent. I think these programs would crush a master at 20 seconds per move. bruce
