Mine played against Hitech in 1995 at the WCCC and Hitech whomped it.  Compared
with modern stuff it doesn't sound very fast though.  It wasn't that much faster
than a micro then, and I bet that a single 450 mhz Pentium II is faster than it
is.

I think Belle is supposedly slower than that, but you gotta remember that these
things were made a long time ago, and the fact that you can even ask this
question is a tribute to their authors and builders.

I would like to see a circa 1990 Cray Blitz play, as well as a circa 1992 Deep
Thought, and modern DB of course.  I would love to see CilkChess at full
strength and on the net as well.
