Go up one level in this thread


Let me remind you of times where there were entries running on Crays or
equivalent heavy duty stuff, and they lost to competitors, one of them running
on a 20 MhZ Sun station (enhanced with a couple of VLSI chips), another one
running on an off-the-shelf Pentium 90.
Sheer computing power doesn't help if your evaluation function isn't good.
No offence to any of the readers, and please correct me if I don't correctly
remember the exact details.

Sven.
