AI digest

On November 3, Hacker News front-page coverage reported an assessment of modern Stockfish on old hardware. The engine was ported to a Pentium Pro with a 200 MHz processor and 64MB of RAM, and its estimated Elo under classic time controls reached 3300. The article concludes that modern Stockfish on this setup would very likely beat Kasparov in 1996. The coverage offers an Elo estimate and a judgment based on it, and does not report the result of an actual game between the two.
