The moral of the story is that programs, just like computers, the longer you wait without buying one, the better deal you get and performance is quite significant. Finally, at the rate that P.C. chess programming is advancing and the speed of microprocessors are doubling every 8 months or sooner, if you really want a chess program capable of beating the current human world champion simply wait until the year 2006; Since the current program that you have now is beating you at least 60% of the time, unless you are one of the best 100 players in the world.
