The only thing I will say on this topic is that I know when *some* engines are getting 10M+ nps SEE and null move are going to back fire. Of course, some programs like Rebel don't use null move, so they will be unaffected. >for example, do you think most programs of today could run on a compatible >operating system if tommorrow we had a hardware increase of 1000x. >in other words do you think there is a speed limitation in our chess software or >our operating systems? if you do, how close are we to this today? > >kburcham
