Unless all of the supercomputers >borrow Hsu's chips as add-ons like IBM did, they would have no chance >whatsoever. I do not agree that they would have no chance. Super Computers are becoming faster every year and even if Hsu has hardware advantage(I am not sure about this) they have chances by doing a better program or by luck. In the last WCCC microcomputer(Fritz3) won 2 Supercomputers(Deep thought and Socrates) and won the championship. It is not clear to me that Hsu will win. I believe that programs can be significantly improved and that there is a chance that in 2000-2002 another supercomputer or even a micro will be better than Deep blue chip. Uri
