Significant part of the people here including me believe that Fritz7 on the best
hardware of today is stronger than DB at 200M nps per second.

I believe that a big majority of the people here agree that Deep Fritz running
at 200M nps is stronger than Deeper blue.

It is possible to do an opinion poll queation and check it.

It proves nothing because the majority can be wrong but we have not enough data
to prove who is right and I only can say that the evidence that I found support
my opinion(my opinion could be different if I could see impressive moves of
Deeper blue from the games that top programs need hours to find).
