But it will likely introduce different effects... Exactly ... and because of that I just let them play with no "special" tricks. I expect the faster cpomputer to win ... by how much is the question. Now, if only someone would do the same exact thing with another program. Let see how much this other program gained vs itself by using faster hardware. after 4 more games: Crafty 1G : ~ .5 1 .5 1 = 10 Crafty 450M: ~ .5 0 .5 0 = 4 hristo
