To put things in perspective.
Hardware difference is something we have to live with... (WCCC)

You have to be patience, though.
t.c 90+30; Fruit2.1 vs:

1)CometB27 (have a reliable rating for that oldie)
2)Crafty 18.11 (same reason)
3)Ruffian 2.1.0
4)CT 15
5)Hiarcs 9
6)Fritz 7 (most games in my DB)
7)Fritz 8 (Bilbao)
8)Junior 7
9)Junior 9
10)Shredder 9

10x40= 400 games = patience

I_hope_the same thing, just don't believe it.
Hydra is not my fav.
Unless Adams plays (good) anti-comp chess, I fear the worse.
(If he does, it will be boring to watch... just watch the anti-comp experts'
games here...)
