Last night I faced Robert's beast in a 60 30 game on ICC. I ran on a PIV 2.0 Ghz
machine and Gandalf 6.03.
Here is the game:

{Somnus resigns} 0-1
The funny thing was that Gandalf had no clue it was losing until move 33 when
it's score finally started to drop. Crafty saw it was winning at move 20.
On average Gandalf was outsearched by atleast 2 ply each move and Robert's beast
hit 18.51M nps. Many moves were in the 17.xxM nps.
Simply put.. the hardware was crushing. Look for some of the same at the WCCC.
