I suggest to analyze the positions from the first match between kasparov and
deeper blue.

Here is  one position that I suggest to analyze(it is from game 5 of this match)

[D]3r2k1/p4bp1/5q1p/8/3Npp2/1PQ5/P2R1PPP/6K1 w - - 0 1

Deep blue(1) played g3 when I suspect(but not sure) that all top programs of
today converge to Ne2 when part of them need a long search.

The following programs are the candidates

1)Deep Fritz
2)Tiger13
3)Gambittiger
4)Junior6
5)Nimzo8
6)Shredder5
7)Gandalf4.32g
8)Rebel Cnetury3
9)Chessmaster8000
10)Hiarcs7.01 or 7.32
11)The latest Crafty

I will be happy if at least 6 of them will be used.

Minimal Hardware:Everything with at least 450 Mhz and 64 Mbytes of Ram.
