I'm not done reading this, but it's quite amazing so far, some of the things that were said. I particularly found this quote from Enrique Irazoqui interesting: <There is a list of the top computer ratings in "standard" on ICC, consisting mostly of Fritzes, and Tigers> "This list is truly great. It shows once again which programs deserve to be consider as contenders for the match Kramnik-machine. You will see that Hiarcs and Tiger on one processor machine do better than Ferret on a Quad (4 processors) Xeon. SMP ready programs that do well here are, as expected, Deep Fritz, Shredder and Junior. We must draw the line somewhere, and sheer strength is our only possible criteria. The inclusion of relatively weak programs like Crafty, SOS, Ferret, Diep, will be perceived as absurd, for the simple reason that each one of them on a Quad machine is less strong than Tiger and Hiarcs on a single processor machine." Wow, those are some very controversial statements.
