Hi CCC

  This is just my impression, I am not claiming to have any facts to back it up,
perhaps someone could shed some information on this topic, It appears to me that
computers are not doing to much better against humans now than they did on
pentium 90 machines. It is clear that in computer vs computer games processor
speed plays a very large role, against humans I don't think this is as true. For
example Back in "84" pentium 90 genius 3 was beating supergrandmasters at
game\30 on a regular basis,  Now that we have pentium 500 the computers seem to
be doing slightly better.  Genius 3 on pentium 500 would no doubt slaughter
Genius 3 on a pent 90, but against humans we may see only a 20-30 pt difference
if that?  I am nuts? opinions welcome.
