I think b) is a valid statement. Also a) is valid but it depends from what do you mean by "than most people think". In my opinion if Deep Fritz 7 played on 1200 MHz too, it would win easily. The main question is what engine is better: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- a) An engine A of 1999 with two years "code" improvement(so engine A in 2001), playing on hardware of year 1999. B) An engine A of 1999, playing on hardware of year 2001. That means: a 2-year hardware improvement or a 2-year code improvement is more important? In my opinion there is no clear answer, because it depends on the engine A and the improvement on hardware.
