I like the concept of this kind of testing, I must disagree with the name Chess
2010. Only a 20X speed up(3 min a move Vs 60 min a move) from now to the year
2010 seems pretty unlikely, I would bet money before the year 2010, we have top
of the line PC machines that will do much better then 20X the speed of a PII 450
today.
