It's odd but about fifteen years or so ago I was convinced that by now we would have a 'credit card' size chess computer of good county strength play or greater. However I was less convinced of our having a grandmaster strength program, let alone the then world chess champion losing to a chess machine before the end of the twentieth century. It would be interesting to know how strong today's best programs would be if they were re-written to run on say an 8 bit 6502 or Z80a CPU. How much of today's chess program strength is reliant on hardware and just how much improved are their algorithms to yesteryears?
