Does it make any difference? If you know how to play a computer it doesn't
matter a lot how fast the machine is. In those games I avoided all tactics,
playing rock solid stonewall chess. Computers do not understand these lines,
and they still don't. Because none of the programmers has been able to
solve the problem how a computer program should play against anti computer
chess. Thus, playing on 200 MHz or 1000 MHz isn't making any difference.

In this respect I completely agree with Bob Hyatt's view: If you know what
computers are capable of (of more exact: If you know their weaknesses), than
it is easy to hold on, even as a 2100 or 2200 player.
