Is computer Vs computer testing now useless in gauging a chess program’s strength playing humans? When Crafty gets killed playing Junior 5 by a wide margin. And Fritz 5 draws a match with Rebel 10 even when Rebel 10 has a 2x hardware advantage. Is it time to abandon Computer Vs Computer testing all together? Or are we going to have two standards to judge chess programs? One chess program being the best playing other chess programs and one chess program being the best playing humans. And if so what is the best standard to judge a programs overall strength? Is it better marketing to show you can destroy all other programs like Junior5 and Fritz 5 can do, or is it better to show you can beat a top grandmaster like Rebel 10 can do?
