What about Star Sapphire? IIRC it will (eventually!!) use DragonBall processor instead of the H8. It was rumored to be 50 points stronger than Sapphire II. Tiger is a very strong program that has been ported to DragonBall. W-Chess is also strong but I do not see how W-chess can improve so much from changing H8 to Dragonball (and hence lose strength) and then improve so that it is even stronger than Sapphire II. My idea is that either Star Sapphire will be a weaker than Sapphire II or that Star Sapphire will use the H8 processor. Any ideas?
