The question then could be, on what hardware? There are a lot of knowledgable here than can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the relative strength of engines is dependant on the box you run them. Program A can be better than program B when running on a given computer, but when run on a box twice as fast program B can be stronger. I feel that root processors will lose relative strength to programs that does full evaluations at the end of the search when the CPU speed is doubled. Am I right? Or am I missing something? manuel,
