Hello,
2750 : it is not so bad, even if it is active chess!
And with a "normal" PC (700 or 800 MHz) I don't
think the results would have been very different. The speed
of that machine is less than 8*700 = 3500 MHz (but the price is
certainly much more than 8 PC'S !). The conclusion is that
if you have purchased Fritz or another program, you have
at home a very very strong player, it is a positive aspect!
If you thought that Fritz or another program was the best player
in the world at active chess, you should be disappointed but
everybody here knows the weaknesses of programs in closed positions.
Anyway Frans Morsch was very pessimistic concerning the year
when a program is stronger than any human (I remember he said 2020)
so you have to wait a little bit!
best regards,
Sylvain Renard
