Vincent was talking about genius.

Genius with the hardware of 1992 is losing 10-0 against the top programs of
today with 2002's hardware.

How many games did Cray blitz with the 1992's hardware play in computer
tournaments?


I know that it did not play in WCCC of 1995 when Fritz3 became the world
champion.

I do not know about a single tournament that it played.
