Using a newer process to make the chips is a pretty clear win. 0.6 micron to 0.18 micron is a big jump. It's the difference between the Pentium Pro and the Coppermine. If money isn't an issue, I bet you can get ~8 of the original DB chips on one 0.18 micron die. After that, there's the usual tweaking that people have been doing to chess programs for years and years. I'm sure their evaluation function could use some work. Testing null move would definitely be interesting. -Tom
