He expressed his concern that the 486 computer is still too fast compaired to a Palm and his speed numbers indeed suggest this is probably true ( his idea to make up for this with the longer time conrol assumes diminishing returns btw, doesn't it ;) ? ). I will have to think about how to get a good and valid test of speed. >I am more interested what happens at tournament time control(120/40) Then please test it :). >and I believe that tiger earns more from time because Genius is optimized for >blitz. People keep saying that all the time .. I don't buy it - a little excerpt from the SSDF list: 61 Shredder 1.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2282 59 -58 145 53% 2263 62 Nimzo 3.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2279 26 -25 767 58% 2220 63 R30 v. 2.5 2274 41 -38 343 69% 2135 64 Hiarcs 3.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2273 30 -30 545 56% 2228 65 Genius 4.0 DOS 486/50-66 MHz 2265 23 -23 900 49% 2269 66 Junior 3.3-3.5 Pentium 90 MHz 2257 31 -31 516 47% 2277 67 Genius 3.0 486/50-66 MHz 2255 24 -23 910 62% 2168 68 MChess Pro 4.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2254 29 -29 578 52% 2238 69 CometA90 64MB P200 MMX 2252 37 -39 358 36% 2351 70 192 64MB P200 MMX 2248 44 -46 248 41% 2316 71 Fritz 3.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2240 18 -19 1438 42% 2297 72 Mephisto Genius 2.0 486/50-66 MHz 2235 23 -23 917 58% 2176 73 Fritz 4.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2233 40 -39 324 60% 2163 74 WChess 1.06 Pentium 90 MHz 2230 20 -20 1222 39% 2308 75 MChess Pro 5.0 486/50-66 MHz 2227 26 -26 691 50% 2229 76 Kallisto 1.98 Pentium 90 MHz 2226 21 -22 1049 42% 2283 It seems that Genius 4 is the strongest computer program tested on 486 CPUs so far at tournament time control and can even compete with Shredder 1 , Nimzo 3 and Fritz 4 on Pentium 90 and Comet A90 on Pentium 200 MMX . If you think about it - how did Genius get all of its WM titles with its said blitz optimization ? Regards, pete
