The thing ran on an eight-way-box which in my book is not a PC, so I think it is
somewhat misleading to say that we saw the first PC software win against a World
champion with long OTB time controls yesterday (although of course the software
that ran on the eight-way-box will also run on a PC...).
I think therefore it would be more reasonable to say that what we saw yesterday
was the first win of a computer not using specialized chess hardware against a
world champion under tournament conditions.
