I don't know enough to say which computer would be stronger, but I suppose Fritz would get deeper than DB on the same hardware, judging from what I've read discussed, simply because DB apparently had no forward pruning and Fritz did. Whether the extra depth that Fritz could get because of pruning would make it a stronger player is another question I won't even try to answer. By the way, why didn't the DB team have any forward pruning? Didn't they trust their own eval? Cheers, Mike.
