I believe that known programs are at disadvantage against kramnik. Deep Junior and Deep Fritz are older than tiger so I believe that the programmers did more changes in these programs so they will be more unknown and this is the main reason that I believe that they are better against kramnik unless chessbase release new versions befoe the match against kramnik. I do not believe in a special setting against strong humans and Deep Junior that has not a special setting against humans did the best performance of computers against humans. A special setting may be productive if the target is to win relatively weak humans but it is not relevant against kramnik. > > > > >>>I hope the organizers will think twice about this. >> >>What can they do, when you say your staying with a one-cpu program? > > > >If they really want to go for multiprocessor programs ONLY, then I guess there >are even better choices than Deep Fritz, Deep Shredder or Deep Junior. > >I think Don Dailey's programs could qualify as well. And also P.Conners, Dark >Thought, and other university programs. P.Conners never did good results in comp-comp tournaments inspite of the hardware advantage. Don dailey's program is also probably not good enough. Dark thought did not support more than one processor in previous tournaments so I doubt if it can qualify. Uri
