In computer chess the side with the hardware advantage or the best program doesn't always win. If you play roulette, the odds of any one number coming up aren't very good, something like thirty-five to one. If you bet on a number, and it came up, you wouldn't write a post question why this happened. You would immediately understand that you got lucky. The same thing is true in computer chess. If you play two programgs against each other, the weaker one, or the one on slower hardware, is almost always going to score some points. bruce
