It is very simple. You do not handicap one program because of the limitations of
another program. If I was testing Genius 5 Vs Fritz 5, Would I force Fritz 5 to
play with only 32mb of ram, because the max. that Chess Genius 5 can use is 32.
No. I have to equal machines; I try to set the programs up to play their best on
each machine. If one program is better at getting more out the same computer
then another program, then that is to the program and programmers credit.
