Go up one level in this thread


Point taken and a dignified response too.
I guess I came on a bit strongly because I frequently see posts on this forum
that discourage people, eg, when a person spends a lot of time and gets a lot of
enjoyment out of running engine-engine matches/tournaments and posts their
results only to be told by somebody that unless they're doing this on the
fastest and latest PC's that there's no point!
Looking back through my collection of 'Selective Search' magazines, I see that
programs such as Fritz3 were still defeating GM's on P133's. So I figure that
today's programs running on Pentiums, Pentium2's and Pentium3's still give a
very very high standard of play. And despite what some may say, the relative
performances of the programs to each other surely wouldn't differ too greatly on
faster hardware.
