If you look at the results reached by the Deep Junior and Fritz, I think it may
matter a lot! If they have not changed a lot outside the SMP stuff in the
programs, they won games due to their new better hardware!

But I think your choise of openings will matter even more. Has your opening
expert Jeroen already started to prepare against van Wiel?
