I do not know about the number of 16 million nodes per second in the 80's. The number that my memory tells me are 750000 nodes or 2000000 nodes per second in the match of Deep thought against kasparov and I remember that it was in 1989. Nodes per second is also not everything in chess so I believe that inspite of being slower in nodes per second the chess programs of today are better. Uri
