If the program's roles could be reversed, I think the outcome could also be reversed. No one has proven Hydra would be the "perfect" or strongest chess program if used on similar hardware. The key word in your declaration is "perfect machine" and not "perfect program." It's difficult for the best chess programmers to compete with Arab oil money unless someone wealthy enough wants to sponsor the hardware purchase. Would anyone wish to guess the cost of the Hydra hardware? Hydra should be entered into the next WCCC, that may give an inkling of its potential. DHM
