I certainly agree with that sentiment.  As I said before, the performance by
Deep Junior is far more remarkable than that of Deep Blue, when you consider the
compute disparity.

Amir Ban is clearly doing something right.

On the other, other hand, I think that hardware would make any SMP program look
really, really good.  Probably not against that crowd though.
