i guess the only pc programs that could ever hope to be compared is crafty ie
smp and deep junior and perhaps diep .but those programs if run on equal
hardware would be as good .i also believe that if hyat had the same hardware he
would have done better .he makes crafty which is on par with the best pc
programs but not clearly better .it was the hardware that really made the thing
go ,im only commenting on the software aspect .
