A miracle? A space-time distortion? > >Program X is better on faster computers is the bullshit I read since years for >almost every program out there. You look really angry about this :) Anyway, remember your program is one of the very few that is able to play strong chess in slow 486's so, from 486's point of view, your program gets less benefit from fast hardware than others. I think the benefit_from_fast_hardware thing makes sense for some programs, but it's "overused" (don't know if this word exists in english). Particularly, one would expect deep Fritz to be optimized to play in multiprocessor machines, and that's why the statement "slow ~400 Mhz PC and single prosessor" makes sense, IMO. >Enrique has tested Deep Fritz on a single processor and has found it to be very >strong. So the current 6-1 result in favor of Junior6 must be random noise. Just >wait a little bit and the result should change... I agree here completely. José C. > > Christophe
