Hi all;i think the answer is best summed up by what bob hyatt has been saying
all along-ie a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and in the case of
computer chess this weak link consists of lack of long range and startegic
planning and lack of positional understanding-once this weak link is identified,
it can be attacked by a good enough chess player anfd further increases in
computer hardware wouldn't make much difference.in computer vs computers on the
other hand are playing to each others strenghths rather than weaknesse so
hardware increse would show up significantly-i think this has been pretty clear
from the inability of rebel to have a plus score against grandmasters
