1) Shouldn't computer strenght it rather be measured on "average" entry-level computers.. i.e. the ones actually used by the majority of people? 2) Also.. do programs benefit in the same way from higher speed and increased hash tables? If not, tests would not be comparable, therefore useless. 3) Why are books used in tests? Shouldn't a top level computer program be capable of doing at least decently in the opening phase *without* resorting to it's book? If the answer is no.. then it could be easily beaten by even lower-performing computers by having it systematically go out of book. Or am I wrong?
