HA HA HA HA! I would also like to add regarding this subject, that I was sure that programmers know how to maximise the chessplaying level of their programmes for specific time allowances. e.g. a program laden with knowledge might play incredibly great chess at tournament timings, but be very weak at blitz, and may be weaker even at tournament timings on an old XT than the good programs were of then (e.g. Langs Psion, perhaps).
