Are there any kind of hardware limitations in computer competitions? If not, I'd imagine people would just bring a small custom cluster. TSCP would beat Hiarcs or Shredder if tscp was parallelized and Hiarcs was on a 486. Just an idea; perhaps there should be some kind of limitation. If not then you're not really testing the strength of the engines, but a combination of code and hardware. In that case, whoever has the most money has a huge advantage. Especially if clustering is allowed. Just my $0.02, curious to your opinions.
