Subject: Re: Deep blue chip-more than 70% of the voters think that it is not strong

Go up one level in this thread

I think most readers do not believe Hsu, because they forget that not only is
the hardware greatly stronger than a micro, but the eval function is also
greatly stronger than a micro (as Dr. Hyatt has pointed out) because Hsu can do
all sorts of cool eval things for free in hardware.  Also, as Larry Kaufman has
pointed out, comp-comp results tend to be exaggerated compared to comp-human
results.


  This brings up an interesting point - is it possible to fairly test a DB Jr.
with a micro?  Setting both to a figure of  X kn/sec doesn't cut it, because the
hardware eval function of DB Jr. is MUCH better than the micro's eval function -
even a highly developed one like Fritz or whatever....Any opinions??
