Hmm... and you honestly think you can compare the two events directly by using
TPR? The conclusion you'll reach about the strength of Deep Junior vs. Deep Blue
with that kind of comparison will be at best frail, at worst wrong and at least
insignificant. It might be an amusing comparison, but ultimately worthless and
it just feeds the usual "Which chess computer was the best?" discussions on an
unsound foundation. Compare it with PConners instead. That makes sense.

Best wishes...
