I´ve just in chessbase page to see that Brutus (congratulations !!!) beat Fritz...but did you see how chessbase tried to explain the defeat ?? " Donninger's program was constructed for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) systems. These are essentially programmable chips which have the advantage is that anything programmed this way will run very much faster than on a general purpose chip like the Pentium or Athlon. An additional benefit is that due to the parallel sturcture of the code you can add chess knowledge in any quantity without slowing down the search. In regular PC programs each new quantum of knowledge is bought at the price of search speed. " bla bla bla.... something like this: Brutus had a much better hardware...ok, but I´ve never seen this kind of explanation when we see Fritz or other in 1 on ssdf (I remeber when chessbase programs got first places, but they were the only one who had better hardware...) see you Ricardo
