Mr Tom I was not comparig apples to airplanes ( and calling them sailboats),
around 1 year ago there was a planned commercial version of Deep Blue to be
offered for sale to the public, and they were testing it against different
People and P.C. chess softwares, of course it was using a didderent time
control; but the case in point was that Rebel played a blitz game against it and
beat it, also Chess Tiger played another Blitz game and drew against this
planned commercial version of Deep Blue, which was supposed to be on sale but
never materialized.

PS: I understood the question perfectly, my comparison was not based on a
nonexpert opinion, I am a programmer with 15 years of experience working for
microsoft, I just have not found the time to program my own chess program,
probably due to the fact that I don't have the time that is required to write
a debugged chess program. I did not like your comments of accusing me to make a
Doesn't Follow Fallacy such as " comparing apples-and oranges" argument.
