First thing is that Deep Fritz on a dual is not deterministic program. Second thing is that I am not sure if the speed is exactly the same speed and the question which program is faster may be dependent on the position. > > > >>>The logic is as follows the programs were intended for 2 or more cpu's >>>if you get 1.7x when you use 2 cpu's as to one >>> 700 x 1.7 = 1190 this way you still get roughly equal cpu power and the "Deep" >>>program get's to run as it was intended. >> >>Deep Fritz is intended also for one processor and if you talk about Deep Junior >>then the ssdf does not use it in their tests. >> >>Uri > >This is pretty strange shouldn't they test Shredder and Junior on as well with >each version Deep and Regular?

Deep thought is not commercial program and we cannot test it so the interesting question is not comparing Deep Fritz with Deep thought. It is agreed by almost everyone except Hyatt that Deep Fritz is better than Deep thought and there are even people who think that Deep Fritz is also better than Deeper blue of 1997. The people who think that the commercial programs of today are better than Deeper Blue(1997) include at leasst 2 programmers when one of them is Amir Ban. I also guess that the best commercial programs of today are better than Deeper blue. Uri
