No hardware would have been able to save Fritz in those games. That is correct as far as strategical positions are played against Deep Fritz or Deep Junior, but when it comes to tactical positions the extra Ghz can make a world of a difference. Deep Fritz would have done terribly if a mere Pentium 500 Mhz was used instead of the 8x 1000 Mhz system, since Kramnik would have outplayed it tactically as well. Pichard
