But i was wondering if this would be applicable to chess programs.. What components besides the processor could the manufacturer advertise? Shredder won using Brand X hard-disk..So would the manufacturer of that hard-disk get bragging rights? I.e " We have the fastest hard-disk" Shredder won using Mouse X, would the manufacturer of that do the same? However about the O/S? Monitor? and if you were using CDs for table base access would the CD-rom drive manufacturer get bragging rights? Looks really silly to me.
