Hi Jorge
I have played the following games at time control 120'/40
- vs Junior8 [1/2, 1/2, 0]
- vs ChessTiger15 [1/2, 1/2]
- vs Shredder 7.04 [1, 1/2]
sometimes using P3/650 and sometimes P3/800. In short: much too less
games to say anything. But if you looking at the games, there would be
not much difference with a Ath XP 2400+ except the game vs Shredder704
when the program on the much faster hardware would have avoided the
losing move ... d4. In all the other [boring] games there was no tactics
and other moves would hardly have changed the drawn result. I can't speak
for Eduard Nemeth who is playing completely different to my style, but as
long I succeed in getting absolute equal positions [and this is of course
not always possible] from the opening with not much tension in it, I can
imagine to score 30 % vs all top programs. Don't lough but I think that
today's programs play positionally too sound and I guess my results would
be much worse vs older chess programs like MChessPro, Gandalf (DOS) or
Kallisto.
