Uri, I know that Fritz has better software algorithms than D.B. , but Deep Blue
has on its favour the power of an IBM SP/2 server equipped with a large number
of special-purpose chips.
By using over 200 of these chips the overall speed of the program could be
raised to 200 million positions per second.

Do you mean the fact that V.K. was allowed to prepare against the Fritz program
and discover perhaps some weak points in it ?
