It's obvious this question can't be answered scientifically.

The only way to be certain, is play Deep Fritz against Deep Blue,
and of course that will _never_ happen.

However, IMHO, Deep Blue is stronger, by 100 rating points!

BTW if Kasparov says Deep Blue is stronger, I'd trust his opinion
over a publicity match played by Kramnik, even though Kasparov lost.

Moreover, I watched both matches, and it seems clear to me Deep Blue played
better chess, but it was running on a supercomputer many many times faster
than Deep Fritz. If Deep Fritz was adapted to play on such hardware then I
would suspect, Deep Fritz would be stronger.

But again I stress, the _only_ way to prove this beyond any doubt is to play
Deep Fritz against Deep Blue, since this isn't going to happen, this arguement
is really moot.
