Why doesn't everyone run their competitive chess programs with the same hardware so that no single chess engine has a hardware advantage? It seems unfair to me that some competitors have access to faster and better hardware. I would think of it as a science experiment where the only variable is the chess engine itself and _not_ the hardware that its running on. That is the real test. I want to see the real winner of this event competing on equal hardware playing grounds. I think this would help with hardware uniformity in future WCCC events. There has to be something in the rules about playing with equal hardware. Maybe after this year the WCCC could supply the use of one computer for each participant, or even quad opterons for each participant!! After all, we are just testing which chess search program is better, right?
