It seems that crafty's rating on ICC is 400 points too high and I don't mean inflated. The reason I think this is I know I learn more from the games I lose than I do from the games I win. It seems to me that for development purposes, slower hardware would expose improvable inefficiencies in the program. With the current hardware (4x400 Xeon), Crafty looks like a genius in every game due to the speed of the hardware. If each of the CPU's were running at say 100mhz, then improvements to the program could occur at more rapid pace, since problems with the eval or whatever would be more noticeable (more losses=more opportunity to improve). Not that Bob has done "too badly", but maybe he can do better? Just a thought.
