see also here for report specifically for 1995:

More than twenty years ago, time goes fast. And we
still haven't solved chess.. Or.. maybe we have !?!!?!??!
(it's a draw, isn't it; but the best players already knew that or
at least strongly suspected it since Steinitz, Capablanca, and so on..).

Very nice find indeed!

For me this was the nicest event ever, very well organized by Cock de Gorter. I completely forgot about the details but after looking at the wiki I found that my program reached 25th spot in the 1995 Aegon tourney.

I remember that my program once played Judit Polgar and lost, but that was in another year.
