In my original question I stated minimum resources. I agree with you that lots of memory could be highly useful: "... I would say a computer with perfect software, 32 GB of RAM (so a lot) and a 300 Mhz processor (slow processor) would be able to beat a human." (from my original post) So it sounds to me like most people think that if we had a perfect program, computers would be able to win. So at this point hardware will only allow us to get away with writing less perfect code. On 1/24/07, Stuart A.

You are right. It's been a long thread and I'd forgotten that. sorry stuart
