No.  Unless you mean using 1980's hardware.  Cray Blitz, on current Cray
hardware, is pretty formidable...  it can hit almost 10M nodes per second...
uses singular extensions, etc.  If you mean 1980's era Cray Blitz on modern
hardware, that is still very strong.  If you mean 1980's era CB software on
1980's era hardware, it is still at _least_ as fast as the very fastest
programs of today, but such games would indeed be 'interesting'...
