i only thought it strange because , all 20 of my other programs are much faster
by a factor of 3 to 12 , depending on program . even at that slow speed it is
very powerfull at speed chess .im just amazed that the programmer was able to
squeeze that much power out of so little .i believe if chessmaster could be run
at 200,000,000 nps like deepblue it would be 300 to 400+ points stronger than
deepblue .
