Go up one level in this thread


this kind of test is fundamentally flawed by being 100% biased: you are
presenting a selection of positions where deep blue failed, in every single one.
of course, if a program of today solves a single one of these, be it by luck or
by better knowledge, it already looks good.
there are surely lots of positions where deep blue would look good in comparison
to a micro, but they are not included.

for any meaningful comparison, you should get a set of test positions and run DB
and your micros over it. of course you can't do that now. but if you can't make
a meaningful comparison, the next best thing is to make none at all. not to make
a meaningless comparison :-)
