There is no doubt that Tiger is better than WChess (using equal hardware) so I don't think your question is appropriate. I don't really think you even believe that WChess on a P90 would beat Kramnik by a ratio of 2:1 in a series of 100 tournament games i.e. has a rating of 2895. A better question would be why did WChess in 1994 get such a high performance rating? The answer probably lies with the GM who most likely underestimated the strength or had an off day. >What Elo would obtain against GM's any current Top chessprogram >in a P90 with 64 Mb RAM ?. My guess would be 2600 - 70 * (ln(30)/ln(2)) = 2260 >My question is , when they will stop to cut code the programmers >(with honorable exceptions) and to begin to develop programs a >bit intelligent, or we will have to wait to have at home hardware >with 256 processors and 10 TB RAM to be able to see to play chess ?. Maybe you could do better? Regards, Steve
