Just a few highlights from the ssdf guys !
Event "?"]

Comet gets slow hardware and no mmx, and less hashtables,
fritz gets mmx, power-books and 200 Mhz !!
[Event "?"]
[Site "SSDF 40-2, DK-Bramming"]
[Date "1998.05.08"]
[Round "40"]
[White "Hiarcs 6 P90 15MB"]
[Black "Fritz 5 P200MMX 43MB"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

Hiarcs is also unlucky, has the same TREATMENT
comet has !!
[Event "Level=120'/40+330'/110+30'. "]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1998.04.22"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Fritz 5.0 P200 MMX"]
[Black "Shredder 2.0 P200 MMX"]
[Result "0-1"]
[ECO "D15"]
[PlyCount "127"]
[EventDate "1998.04.21"]
{44032kB, f5book.ctg
} 1. d4 {0} 1... Nf6 {2} 2. c4 {0} 2... c6 {2} 3. Nf3 {0}
Shredder2 has more luck. It gets a fast machine and Fritz only small
book !!
But NIMZO98 is really in the worst position, it is even not in the boat:
[Event "Level=120'/40+330'/110+60'. "]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1998.04.22"]
[Round "11"]
[White "Nimzo 3.5 P90"]
[Black "Fritz 5.0 P200 MMX"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B97"]
[PlyCount "135"]
[EventDate "1998.04.21"]
{44032kB, f5book.ctg
} 1. e4 {0} 1... c5 {0}
Although nimzo98 is on the market for a while,
they still test nimzo 3.5 (the very weak predecessor) against
Fritz5. And they put Nimzo3.5 on a p90. I guess with 16 MB ? Or 8MB??
And this the 21st april !!
ok - I guess Fritz5 's playing strength will not decrease that early !!!
If they HELP this way, it will never come to a realistic level !!
Heavens....
What do they want to measure ? That a p90 and nimzo3.5 plays weaker than
fritz5 on 200 Mhz MMX with 64MB and 525 MB powerbook?
Thanks :-)))
