I played Crafty vs Cray Blitz, using 1992 >hardware (a C90) and Cray Blitz won 7-3. That certainly is _one_ example >where Vincent's statement is false... 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. Uri
