Its great to see Tournaments like these played, but I think pretty pointless if
programs are not run on the same hardware. For example CM6K on slower hardware.

Similar to running Carl Lewis at his best over 100 metres against the best
disabled runner in the world. two people running, but one with a handicap. not
really fair now is it :(

Just because you have a whole lot of todays programs playing each other. Does
not make it the strongest. I take very little from these results thankyou. Only
if it is a fair match up will I then take the results more seriously.
