This is mentioned in the Monty Newborn book Kasparov Versus Deep Blue
but there is no mention of the problem existing on move 16. It is impossible to
even guess How Deep Thought or DB would do against any Top program based on one
game this i realize then so is there a game which you think better to look at
for a good example of the Deep's definately being better than commercials?

I had meant to ask you a few questions reguarding the Deep's  In your opinion
what did they do better than current software and Reguarding a Performance list
of Computers. This list shows the performance Ratings of Deep Blue/Thought, the
ratings are low but the game number is high compared with commercial software
Chess Tiger having 2788 against an average FIDE elo of 2497. Doesn't it make
sense that this is just too high and with the same number of games as for
instance Deep Thought of 1989 (29 games) that this rating would come down?
There is a problem with Chris Carson's list Fast games are included for deep
thought which most likely messes up the ratings.

Since DB and Deep Thought Searched differently if not better and their Search to
a Depth of 10 would be different from Crafty , Hiarcs , or Fritz how can one
know that just because i let these programs search the same number of nodes that
the results would show beyond doubt that one is better than the other?
Do i need to look twice as deep what are the guidelines?

I can say that Commercial's are 100% better if they could find the Bishop Sac
that Kasparov Could've played then i can say well if the two were playing the
Commercial software would win ...and that's about the only decent example i have
but that sac turns out to be harder than most Nolot Positions due to the Depth
needed.

Do you think Computers are IM or GM strength? I remember you placing then at
around 2450 or so within the past few years maybe i am quoting you wrong

I could babble on but then i don't want to annoy.

Thankyou
