In a rather lengthy post about how Deep Thought Dominated the ACM events you came up with an 86% score for DT against it's opponents. I am curious as to if we could compare PC's to this what kind of system would we have to score 86% against? Pentium 90? Wchess and Fritz were on P90's and I am not sure about the various other programs like from the 1994 ACM. Obviously it is pretty impossible to say well you need this kind of system to run this commercial software to equal DT, because nobody seems to agree how much knowledge and what knowledge was contained within that Program; We can't say well Crafty or Fritz has to search exactly the same ammount of nodes because they might have to search alot less. So to rephrase if DT was 86% better than it's competition(315elo) to have a program that strong compared to DT does it have to have a system only as fast as that Deep Thought system or can it be any Setup that perform's 315 points higher than DT's competition on a Pentium 90? Maybe that is more ethics , is it fair kind of question. for example if their system was equivalent to a Dual 2Ghz but we need a Quad 4Ghz system to get the same performance. I don't think anyone has ever thought about that. Also how would we compare DT, it's 86% score was against various types of hardware, possibly some that are faster than current Desktops. Lastly if we compare their data from a recent pdf file about DB, They said DBjr. lost 2 out of 30 games 315elo higher than a P200 (maybe P90) that would put their single chip at 2795 on the SSDF list depending on which top program from that hardware you compare it to.
