That's a bit harsh, we know a great deal about the hardware, but usually companies that SELL comercial Chess software won't tell you what's inside their program. They (IBM) realize that much of the power that came from Deep Blue was in their hardware so they have not tried to re-engineer the program to be strong on a PC (this probably can't be done). I hold nothing against IBM, I do wish that they had another rematch, but that's no big thing, Kasparov blew that deal himself. IBM is under no obligation to share anything at all. Pete
