I can say I think I can beat up Bruce Lee, primarily because he's dead. :) We don't know how match-ready DB2 really was, maybe they got it tuned well enough just in time, and were lucky, but in reality it could have been much stronger. It's meaningless to say you can keep tuning DJ but DB2 would have to remain as it was, or some such. Getting all your eval for free in hardware is still nothing to sneeze at. My question is still whether all those eval terms are needed to produce a championship level of play, or whether tuning of existing parameters in a program like Junior is enough. If what you say is true perhaps the Junior team feels that is the case. Certainly changing a single line of eval code could cause dramatic changes in playing style to appear (such as not giving up an advanced knight outpost for nothing), so perhaps modern programs do have enough terms and a little nudge here and there will avoid these bad positional moves. Since it looks like DB will never be resurrected, all the current programs have to do to show that they are just as good is to beat Kasparov at standard time control. And stop playing "stupid computer moves". ;)
