The match was a result of a (giant) discussion in RGCC about chess knowledge vs speed. It should prove that chess knowledge has the possibility to outperform a massive hardware advantage such as Deep Blue. Since the discussion led to nowhere because of 100% opposite opinions I challenged Bob to proof my point, hence the 100 x time advantage for Crafty. I think the point was valid in those days (1997 or so) as the one game Crafty and Rebel played was won by Rebel but I think that nowadays Crafty is much too sophisticated to repeat the challenge. Anyway it was a fun thing to do and I am still waiting for Bob's revenge in whatever form :) To read all about it check: http://www.rebel.nl/other.htm Ed
