So far experiments indicate that 2x speed advantage is pretty significant. But exactlly how much? Why don't you run a match of 100 games? My bet is the faster one wins 75%. For 99% certaincy you probably need at least 10x faster hardware, I think. Because chess is partly a game of luck and in 100 games the faster engine might easiliy get killed once because of a rotten openingline. Unless the speed difference is enormous. Why don't you try a match and publish the results here? Regards, Bas Hamstra.
