Never that I'm aware of, but it's only a matter of throwing more processing power at the problem until it could realistically happen. It wasn't meant to be taken absolutely literaly though. It was meant more to make a point that when you have a super computer running a less complex engine vs. a computer that is many magnitudes slower running an advanced engine, the super computer should dominate. I imagine that Diep is probably more advanced than Deep Blue since Deep Blue didn't use forward pruning. Now Diep has comparable hardware, and so it should be interesting to see what happens. Logic would say that Diep should pretty much win out with a draw here or there, but only time will tell. Maybe I am way overestimating the advantage of extra hardware. Maybe Deep Blue wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Russell
