Es wurden zahlreiche Detailverbesserungen eingebaut. Inzwischen haben wir ein sehr ernstes Luxusproblem. Auf unseren Test-PCs (2.4 GHz Pentium) ist Brutus wesentlich besser als Fritz&Co. Wir müssen den anderen Programmen ein Zeithandicap von etwa 30 zu 90sek./Zug geben, damit die Partien halbwegs ausgeglichen verlaufen. Das erschwert die Testarbeit sehr. Auf einem 8-fach Server hat aber Deep-Fritz gegen Brutus noch immer die Nase vorn." in english: "since the world championship [2002 maastricht] alex [kure] and i [chrilly donninger] have been working hard on brutus and made a lot of improvements. in the meantime we have a serious luxury problem: on our test-PCs (2.4GHz P4) brutus is much better than fritz & co. we have to give the other programs a time handicap of 30 to 90 sec/move [he doesn't write at what time control he's playing...] so that the games are a bit more even. that makes testing difficult. on an 8-way-server, deep fritz is still stronger than brutus though." he goes on to explain that therefore they will be playing with a 6- or 8-way brutus in graz. other items of interest might be that brutus calculates ~2.5MN/sec, and that besides donninger there are a number of well-known people who helped with brutus, among others ken thompson, ernst heinz, alex kure, ulf lorenz and GM Genadij Timoscenko. cheers martin
