Deep Thought II could search around 10 million nodes per second, and this is
using hardware designed in 1985. Deep Blue, I think was around 100 times faster
than Deep Thought.  Gary Kasparov easily defeated Deep Thought.  So given that
DJ probably isn't even anywhere near as fast as Deep Thought II then I don't
feel that it can compete with the likes of Gary.

After watching the game today, I get the impression that DJ is broken.  The
moves e5 and Re8 look like stupid moves and I cannot replicate these moves with
any of my chess programs even after two hours of thinking.  Does anybody know if
the DJ team has been fiddling with the program in preparation for the match?

Cheers,
Tom.
