You act like the WCCC is this _huge_ public event that the world tunes into. I bet 99% of those who know of it and follow it are members here or at least know it's open hardware. So level playing field is handicapping those that can be much stronger on a quad Opteron because we have a few programs that can't utilize threading in their programs, so we should have had them run on the P 4's? I'm sorry, but I really don't see where you all come up with this level playing field angle. If it's not hardware it's compiler's. What will it be when they have equal hardware? What will be unfair then? Some don't have access or money for top level GM's to make custom books. What should we do here? The book probably has a bigger effect than the hardware at the long time controls. -Sean > >as long as this is the perception..then lets do it right in the future >lets put everyone on an even playing field..then at least the claims can be made >that the best program won and it will really mean something > >Steve > > > > > > >> >>> >>>as long as the perception of this event remains that the best program is the >>>winner...its then best to have the same hardware in the future >>>Steve >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>>> >>>>my hat is off to you and Omni >>>>you took on the big boys with the mega bucks and their multi-million dollar >>>>computers..you had courage..you fought the good fight! >>>>Shalom(peace) to you both >>>>Steve >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> because programs that could use better hardware like >>>>>Deep Sjeng or ParSos used only a single processor not because of programming >>>>>advantage and programs that used a single processor did not use the best one not >>>>>because of programming. >>>>> >>>>>Uri
