Given two basically equal engines (or even the same engine), running on
different hardware, the fastest hardware is not guaranteed to win. The opening
book can make all the difference. All these games were played yesterday, using
the first edition of my custom book for Shredder9.
My system: ICC handle "Under-Rated", AthlonXP 2600+ Barton Core 1.91Ghz
@2083Ghz 1GB PC2700 RAM, Shredder9 UCI
ICC Opponents:
Over-Rated -Dual 2.4GHz Opterons Windows 2003 Server Enterprise (NUMA enabled,
Deep Shredder 9
Blargh - Dual 2.4GHz Opterons Windows 2003 Server Enterprise (NUMA enabled, Deep
Shredder 9 (I'm not sure if this is the same computer as Over-Rated, but I know
I've had a lot more trouble wining against it than I have with Over-Rated
Olorin -olorin is running on a Dell Precision 450 with 2 processors running at
3.06 GHz with 2 Gig of RAM, Shredder8
