Hi, others here might be more than I do, but it seems to me that unless all the
programs are played against each other using exactly the same
configuration/hardware, the results of the programs playing each other proves
nothing (except that one person can afford a better computer).
It brings to mind the argument I heard the other day in a chess news group
about whether Deep Blue's program would be able to beat fritz6. My question
is...would the program win or the hardware? To test whether deep blue's PROGRAM
could beat fritz, both would have to be on the same hardware..imagine if fritz6
was able to use the hardware that Deep Blues program had at it's disposal! Matt
