Really Peter?
Probably you have missed the recent cute exchange between Bob and Amir? Bob
using words like "full of snot".
If you find my message "distasteful" I'm wondering what you would have said
about Bob's.
You missed it, did you?
What I wanted to point out in my message is that Crafty, that some are taking as
a reference, is YEARS BEHIND the top programs.
Not only behind Tiger in fact. I'm pretty sure you can repeat the same
experiment with the top commercial programs, namely:
Fritz5.32
Rebel10
Hiarcs7.32
Junior5.0
Nimzo99
MChessPro6.0
Shredder2
Genius5
As a measure of how much it is behind I would say that in my opinion it is at
least 100 elo points behind.
That's HUGE.
That's why I think Tiger on a PII-400 would stand Crafty on Quad-Xeon.
Unfortunately I have only a K6-2-300, so I'll have to try the experiment (if Bob
agrees) with a 4x handicap, which probably translates to a 120-160 elo points
handicap.
Is it that distateful to point out that Crafty is so far behind?
