[list snipped] So what? You make it sound as if working on the hardware is of less value than working on the eval or the seach-engine. I heard similar arguments concerning Crafty. Spending a lot of time into a parallel search is not of less value than spending time in your eval. (IMHO) Following your logic I could say that "Kasparov has great results to his credit but he has had great positional understanding. The following players with equal positional understanding are as good or better." <insert list of some famous chess players :)> Btw: the conclusion that Fritz6 (or any other engine) on equal HW than DB would play as good or better is a wild guess at best. Or can you back up your conclusion with some data? [With "some data" I don't mean "for example in this position <....>"] Kind regards, -sargon
