Can you prove it in a comp-comp games.

I am curious to know if deeper blue could beat the commercial programs or itself
with Nxe6 fxe6.
We will never know the answer because deeper blue is dead but we can get an
estimate by seeing results of comp-comp games.

I believe that deeper blue is weaker than the commercial progams but even if we
assume that it does not I think that almost everybody agree that computers today
at 24 hours per move are not worse than deeper blue at 3 minutes per move.

If I see one correspondence game between top programs at 24 hours per move when
white wins then I may change my mind about the value of Nxe6.

If there are people with fast hardware who want to play coprrespondence
comp-comp game from the relevant position then it will be interesting to see
because I am not going to waste computer time about it.
