i dont even know who Brutus is
:))

can it not be ported or written to a common hardware system?

please explain what is so hard about the simple idea of announcing well in
advance that a dell(for example)computer running on a xxx mip computer with a
yyyy processor will be the hardware used
all entrants will have their programs installed on the tournament hall
computers before the match

now i realize that in the early days with hugh mainframes you could not possibly
expect Kaissa to use the same hardware as Chess 3.5    but today?

or is it, that this would force all programmers to go out and buy the same
system to be used at the tournament site and it would cause a finanical hardship
?
