Nope. There has been a championship where they tried to compensate for this kind of stuff. (IRRC paris 91, AMD 233) Problem is that if you give the slower machine more time ( FE the Mhz % difference) that the stronger machine will use that time in it's pondering. That's on 2 processors.(ie 2 machines mormally) Of course you can switch pondering off on a single processor but since Crafty can't handle that, that's not accademcly safe so you're not allowed to switch ponder off. Well ( sracasme switched off) on a single processor you'll get the best results with longer time controls. Tony > >pavs ;)
