Right!  Finally!  DT lost against Fritz on a P-90.

You say you do not quote any from 1990 and then you say you are
quoting 1988 to 1995.  That is 386 hardware to P90 and DT did not
beat P90 hardware 90% of the time.  It did beat 386 and 486 in
the 1988 to 1995 time frame you quote.  So again, 8x-700 is way faster
than 386/486 (1988 hw and beyond) about 450 to 900 times.  In 1995,
DT lost to Fritz6 and drew to Wchess on P90.  If you only want P90
then show me the data and quit quoting 1988 to 1995.  386 was the
hardware in 1988!  :)  If you want to say P-133 or P6-200 show me the
games and results.  There are none!  :)

You are drowning in the Deep Blue sea and do not even know it.
