Go up one level in this thread


Kim,

If you have a slow processor then you would want a very small program.  A large
program would be as slow as molasses in January.  You can forget about things
like endgame tablebases and encyclopedias of chess and putting in lots of chess
knowledge.  That is why faster is better.

However, if you want to beat the program then a big program on a slow computer
is the way to go...if it even runs.
