is this so Mike?
i really dont know how it works
there are representives of the computer companies present in the match?
when one program wins, the accolades are equally shared by the programmer and
the Proccesor manufactuer or the hard drive manufacturer?

if not equal credit does the programmer get 75% of the credit and the hardware
companies 25%?

seems that the hardware a chess program runs on is a crucial determining factor
in its ability to play chess..more so then which bike is used in the Tour De
France

for someone with as little knowledge as me in this area,it seems like just
common sense to require everyone play from a level field with the same hardware

but i guess i just dont get it

Best Steve
