more important: gandalf wins very much from fast computers. ALL the testers i
know have the same results: on a 1 ghz machine with game in one hour, gandalf is
slightly behind fritz6a. on tournament level (3h/game) on the same machine
gandalf is better than f6a.

so you need a very fast computer or a long time control for really great
gandalf-results. if you compare the ssdf-results with the hardware they use, the
result fits.

but give gandalf a faster machine and you can see how it turns...
