For one thing, this is highly unfair. To become world champion you would have to win one of these championships to get into the playoff. But if you are a micro, you play in the micro and have a chance to win. But if you don't win, you then play in the other division and you get a second chance to make it to the playoff. However a mainframe or parallel program does not have the option to play in both. Therefore the game is loaded significantly in favor of micro's. - Don > >The idea of having more than one champ, particularly when the playing >strength of mainframes versus micro may not be significant. > >If Deeper Blue is not reassembled then I suspect the micro will be able >to hold its own against its mainframe rival.
