Great. > >I subscribe this without any problem... :) OK - but you are both absolutely wrong IMHO. If Tiger 14.6 on a Palm Vx plays against engines with a calibrated rating on an Athlon 1333 close enough to its own real rating you will get completely reasonable numbers. I started this just for fun but after thinking about it seriously I am sure this is simply right and I will play some more games and show it if time allows( in fact I already did start to play against the opponents you suggested, Thomas). > >> So I still have to understand what was the point of your initial post... > >To show that any engine on Athlon 1333 can not be compared with any engine on >much lower hardware. Not when you try to get after that some estimate how they >will do against humans... >But well, I might be wrong... But it's my opinion... So far nothing show me that >I am wrong... The data in question doesn't support your point of view so far at all, does it ? Maybe you are right but I seriously doubt it. This morning I watched an interesting game D-Chess - Tiger with the usual hardware difference. The Tiger got outsearched all the time. Yet it won . a.) D-Chess grabbed a pawn on h7 with a bishop that could be trapped. b.) Tiger knew exactly which kind of KPK ending is won . I don't know if similar things would be observed in games against humans but as we have _no_ data to discuss here currently it's a little pointless anyway. pete
