And 386 is fast in 1 minuta/game compared to Vic-20. And p1000 is slow compared to DB and so on. Faster is better and wiser is better. Most of programs used same principles 30 years ago (AB, nullmoves...). They played weak chess but they played. The design has not chanced very much. Even now you can make simple program to be either fast or slow. I spent 4 hours to get 5-10% speedup to my movegen routines. Now I'm allmost Crafty-fast - is it fast or slow, I don't know. Severi
