Not always, but if you are 100-1000 times faster you definitely have an advantage... >The question is which program is better. > >IBM does not want to do a public match between Deeper blue and the top programs >of today. IBM's marketing department are *very* satisfied with the current situation: "Deep Blue beat the World Champion". Obvoiusly, you can only go down from that position, so IBM retired their player while beeing the unbeaten champion. >The only chance to get information is if someone buys Deeper blue from IBM in >order to investigate this question. Not for sale. You probably would have to buy the entire IBM to get access to Deep Blue. >Unfortunately I guess that the people who want to know the answer are not rich >enough for it.
