In _hope_ to force _more_ developement in software. And I'd be interested in
games between old and new versions. Updating hardware could lead to different
results between old versions and many games should be replayed.

Aren't the current computers fast enough? And however fast they will be, they
dont solve the chess game. I'd rather like to see new kind of programs than
faster machines. Try new ideas. Even thought they might feel silly or loose
games all the time... Someday something new and effective will come up.
