In the past i thought faster hardware would benefit slow searchers like Chessmaster more than fast searchers like Fritz. Now i'm more inclined to believe that it makes more sense that faster hardware benefits fast searchers more. For the reason that positional ideas are for the most parts moves made from practical experience/knowledge, that we can't always quite calculate. However, faster hardware gives programs the ability in many instances to actually be able to calculate the result. So although i think Chessmaster is a truly awesome engine especially against programs running up to 233Mhz I expct that on a P450Mhz it will come in 3rd or 4th.
