Go up one level in this thread


Interesting, and a stronger program than any one of them could produce alone
could well be the result. But if you added a human Grandmaster into the mix it
would be far stronger still. Otherwise you'd end up in a recursive situation and
lose perspective, sort of like flying with an artificial horizon without site of
the ground and then finding out your instruments are defective. But then you'd
have to put up with GM eating habits...

How much stronger are today's programs on yesterday's hardware compared to
yesterday's programs? Does Junior 7 on a Pentium 133 kill Junior 4 on a Pentium
133? Etc. If the answer is a clear yes, and it is from my experience, a timeline
of the major improvements that make this so would be interesting. (Tablebases,
hashing, null-move, etc.)
