Why would a program that plays strong chess >using 486 benefit less from speedup than a program playing weak chess using >486?? Do you have some evidence or is this just a "gut comment"? It's easy. If program A and program B plays at 2600 in modern hardaware, but program A plays at 2200 in a 486, and program B plays at 2000, then program A gets less benefit from speed improvement than program B. Maybe my statement was lacking to say "assuming two programs that play the same level now...". I thought it was obvious. >And what comes to the original post: 7 games is not so much... Agreed. >Severi
