Hi Thomas,
you are right but, i mean only who have the money for very fast mashines is
clear better then other who can not spend so much for fast hardware?

that is a question about a reach and poor programmers how engine is the best
one.

clearly is better a tournament with all engines can MP ond same MP 4 core
mashines, with books, ponder and tablebases.
or all engines playing on same 1 cpu hardware with book, ponder and tablebases.

compare hydra 16 core mashine vs fruit 1 core mashine is not fairly.

that is also near if one engine have 4 GB hashtables and the other one have only
16 MB hash.
