Again, what platform will you choose?  And why would you choose to exclude a
certain sub-set of programs that don't use that hardware?  IE chess 4.x was in
COMPASS, CDC assembly language.  Cray Blitz had 20K lines of Cray assembly.
Belle and deep thought/deep blue used special-purpose hardware.  Do you exclude
them?  why?  How can a program be world champion when it can't beat all
programs???
