Ok, I didn't know this. >2) I play a different time control. 40/40 is 3x faster than 40/120 ! True. >3) Do you play on one computer? Yes, I have an Athlon 950mhz with Win2k server and 256 Ram. I understand all that you say, but your results are too much different from mines. The difference is too huge. It is true that all the things you said taken as a whole could maybe put a lot of difference in the results, but remember that in yours games Shredder seems to be a *lot* stronger than GTII, where in mine GTII they were very even, and in the last GTII won. This naturally not to say that your results are not right, only that maybe 10 games are too little to judge a thing as this. But now I wonder also myself, and I will do some matches beetween the two engines at tournamente time control. There are always some things to learn about computer chess, and one is that you cannot be sure of nothing, well, at last with the result of the test you personally made at home ;-))) I personally have ever thought that what Christophe said about processor speed and time to think where not so important with engines match, but for what I see watching play Junior and Shredder it doesn't seem so. They both seems to play better and better the more time they have to calculate, and the seems to be true also about Gandalf. Well... I'm really confused at the moment :-) Sincerely, Fabio.
