I think that this shredder smp has not enough games and probably rybka is going to lead when it get more games. smp is not something new in computer chess and it is more interesting for me to see progress in single processor machines. >>I agree but my point is not about future fruit but about comparing the progress >>today and in the past. >> >>Today it is clear that there is a bigger progress. > >It's not clear to me. I think that the biggest jump ever was pre-deep blue to >deep blue. I think that deep blue is not interesting because it was hardware that was designed to play chess. Hydra is also uninteresting for me for the same reason. SMP is already used by some top programs like Shredder or Junior for many years so I do not see implementing it as a progress in computer chess but only as a progress of the specific program when better rating than the top program on single processor is a progress in computer chess.
