If the program doesn't understand the trojan horse >attack, it will fall for it regardless of how fast the hardware is. There is another risk that is called book. If chessbase prepare a secret book against 1.h4 kramnik can find himself surprised by the preperation of chessbase. I also do not agree that it is going to fall for the trojan attack regardless to the hardware. I know that in a lot of cases Deep Fritz can avoid capturing the knight at g5 with more time and the same was truth for crafty before the change in the source code. Uri
