	The improvement is not only due to better algorithms, but also due to
algorithms adapted to faster hardware.
	If you run the new programs versus very old on very old hardware, I think the
old programs have a chance to win (it is posible that the new ones lose all
their games on time).
	Summarizing, chess algorithms have improved over the years, and they have also
adapted to the new powerful hardware.
