<don't forget that even a "baby PC-Chess programs of 1991-1992" running on a 2+ gigahertz processor will do "slightly" better than the same program running on the ancestor 16bit machine.
actually I don't know if the software has made that many advences. I think the early gnuchess versions aleready existed then, and all the essential algorithms were already developed. it would be interresting to see if the then software, compiled today and running on a temporary machine would be much weaker than its descendants.
yes Walter, I know. chess board is this way --->, computers board is that way. ---
