If Hiarcs can win on a single CPU machine, it will be amazing. Not for me We saw in the past that hardware advantage is not so important Deep thought had hardware advantage but Fritz3(p90) won the world championship In a later tournament: Ferret,Junior and Fritz had hardware advantage against Shredder and Shredder won the competition. The difference from being 1.5 times faster is not a big difference and in one tournament everything can happen. I guess that the chances for a program based on a single processor to win the tournament if tiger and Rebel participate is at least 1/3. Uri
