I personally believe that DJ is so much slower than Deeper Blue that it would be no contest. Chess programming is one art form where speed kills (to an extent). And the extent to which Deeper Blue is (was) faster than Deep Junior 8 is roughly 100. Sorry, I just cannot see DJ holding up under the strain of all those tactics that the 100x performance difference inevitably brings. Roy
