The thing about computer chess is that "the swift do not always win the
race."   Many times in the past modest hardware has beaten powerful
hardware.   Even Deep Blue didn't always win the tournaments it played
in.

They came to one competition and Campbell told me that they had
estimated their winning chances at about 50/50 - which was far ahead of
any of the other competitors.   As it turns out, Fritz won that
particular time on one of the least powerful machines that was at that
tournament.
