It has been suggested here that programs have made little progress in the last
10 years other then hardware speed. Here is the list of top programs 6 years
ago. Does anyone really think a program of 4, 6 or 10 years ago running on
modern but equal hardware would have a chance of beating a Junior 7, Deep Fritz,
Chess Tiger in a match. I think someone is pulling our legs.
If the suggestion that programs have not progressed much is correct, then we
have been suckered by all programmers who offer us so called better and stronger
version of their programs.
