Yes, one way of organizing atoms (called Deep Blue) proved superior at playing Chess than another way of organizing atoms (called Kasparov); and organization can be fully differentiated by information alone because atoms are generic.
"If we free Kasparov's opponent from tournament rules regarding time,
and we execute this very program on *anything*, including a Chinese
Room or a Turing machine or a Babbage engine or 30.000 slaves playing
logic circuits in a plain, the end result would not change."
Obviously. So what?
