If they face something 40 times slower then, then they are going to rock. So the GMs kick the software silly. however you can't afford strong GMs so you get some 'weak' gms. these guys are playing real scared already against a guy called Diepeveen (FM) 2312. So in short if they already play like scared pigs against me (and allowing me sometimes because of this to escape to draw against them) then how you think they do tactical against the computer? Right. some games they will lose because of tactical shots! It's easy to get close to 50% with a program against a 2500 GM. It's impossible to beat him though. A good example of a top program at slow hardware (133Mhz or something) is pocket shredder. sold under fritz. How much chance you give pocket fritz at a MIPS 133Mhz against me at 40 in 2 level? I give it 0% chance to win a match. >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 ?. > >Thanks, > >An customer
