Ah you would lose chanceless from Uri, because your Cray is not going to run a single program, and as we know the b.f. from Cray blitz wasn't that well and it was a 1984 program or whatever. Also i can't remember any program except DIEP and crafty running on alpha's but neither of them runs on a 512 processor cluster. Zugzwang might, but that's not exactly a program you are going to beat Uri with... My friend, you would lose CHANCELESS in computercorrespondence world! Zugzwang which is missing mates in 8 because of FHR is not exactly a good choice for a 512 processor Cray! Note it also gets outsearched by deepfritz anyway. Apart from that you'd pay $3000 an hour for system time.
