Subject: Compare Kasparov's middle game with comp.; how many GHZ matches his?

Statistically speaking I'd like to find how many GHZ does it match an IGM middle
game.
For example, using a 1 GHZ comp. use Kasparov's middle game (30th move until the
50th move), when he played 40 moves in 2 hours time control.
With 1 GHZ, you could let it run for 12 or 24 hours, and see if that Kasparov
move makes the same move by the computer.
You can then say (with tounge and cheek, very unofficial, 90 percent of
Kasparov's moves happened at 500 GHZ or less).

If your 1 GHZ took 24 hours to find the move, then it matched 480 GHZ.
(24 hours divided by 3 minutes per move equals 480)
If your 1 GHZ took 12 hours to find the move, then it matched 240 GHZ.
(12 hours divided by 3 minutes per move equal 240)

3 minutes per move came from 40 moves in 2 hours.

This will take "hours" or "a day" to figure out, but we can figure out where
Kasparov stands on faster computers in the future.
