My old hardware, a Pentium 4, over 6 years old, running with my new Fritz 12, has won the modern Rybka 3 running in a fashionable hardware; the old hardware has killed a better hardware and better software on it... This is really extrange for me... out of the Maths.And the game was really nice.
Thanks Doctor Robert for an explanation that you could give to me.
With best respect,

There is this old expression, tidied up a bit, that goes "crap happens".
A program that is 400 Elo weaker should still win one game out of every 16 or so, or draw 2. So this is not that unusual. I have no idea how much stronger Rybka 3 is than Fritz, particularly given the hardware considerations you provided. But even +600 elo is not invincible.
... Doctor Robert Hyatt.... Then, it is possible In a machine versus machine combat than a lower machine with a lower elo, something like 700 elo or more, couid beat some times the stronger one ?... and about man versus machine .... Why do chess computers to continuing lossing some times or simply taking draws against humans beings with out elo? ...
I am thinking chess is in a coin.Human beings for ever playing in one face.Now I am playing in the other face:"Antichess". Computers are as a fortres where owner forgot to close a little door behind. You must enter across this door.Forget the front.
Why don't you try this, get Fritz 12 on the super hardware and put Rybka on the older hardware. Now lets see if Fritz 12 can manage to win the match. Personally I would be more impressed if that happened than a loss of one individual game. I have also witnessed an 8 core 5 Ghz R3 lose a game to a single core PIV Fritz in Bahrain engine ... a lot has to do with book of course, but most is due to simple statistics.
