we all know computer chess has evolved a lot over the last years. the top programs are now battling (and beating) the very best players on the planet. mainly through consistency, but sometimes also with non-materialistic moves that computers would IMO not have made a few years ago (...Bxh2! by junior against kasparov, ...OO! giving up the exchange by fritz yesterday). question: is this progress more due to hardware or more due to software advancements? or in other words: if you took a top program of today (e.g. the current fritz/shredder/junior) and ran it on 5-year old hardware against a 5-year old fritz/shredder/junior version on today's hardware: which combination would win? cheers martin
