Please don't get me wrong. I agree there might be 20 amateurs availlable who will beat Chess Tiger on 4-6 times faster hardware when we talk about current PCs. On a 486 you won't reach much depth and have to live with very shallow searches. Another interesting example is a still running match Chess Tiger - Genius 4 with the same hardware difference. From memory I think it is sth like 0.5-7.5 currently and Chess Tiger is completely chanceless. You can't simply take the results on current hardware and translate them 1-1 to the slow hardware.
