This won't be everyone's cup of tea given the length, but here's a video I did for those bored in lockdown

Wow! A very professional movie. (So far I only had time to see the first 33 min.) But... Vas Rajcheck??? (12:00)

My English pronunciation!

Phonetically how should it be? I'll change for next time...

I would think Raileetch. I see no reason not to pronounce the L.

Thanks for this interesting video.

Here the fens of the two positions discussed in the video for anybody who wants to analyze in his preferred GUI:

1rbq1rk1/p2ppp1p/2p3p1/2n3N1/8/3P1Q2/PPP2PPK/R1B1R3 w - - 0 1
1rb1qrk1/2b2pp1/p3pBn1/3pP1Pp/1ppP4/2P1QN2/PP3P1P/R2BR1K1 w - - 0 1

I don't agree about Hydra being top dog back then, it didn't even qualify for the finals in the first PAL/CSS (and it was running with two different machines/entries).

Thanks, very nice video.

Great video, thanks. I bought Aquarium in the early days. Massively impressive product, but also incredibly buggy back then and also so complicated for my simple mind ! As you mentioned you would have to spend days watching all the tutorials and getting to learn what all the options are and how to bet use it. If you can invest that time you have a very powerful analysis tool.

My new goal for my GUI (Tarrasch) is to at least make the "these GUIs didn't make the cut" scene in the next version of this video
