Wow, 4.5 out of 5.
Looks like Steves and Roberts predictions were diametrical to the results.

Yes, even if everybody here knew that Kittinger programs must not be underestimated, this strong victory was a surprise to everyone.

Best regards,

Thanks for photos and the games Alain

did Eric REALLY open his Magellan modules to check that they were not MMIV's?


i think someone should have opened the Sapphire instead to make sure it was not really a Sapphire II


congrats on another successful tournament in Paris!

Steve,

yes, indeed!! Eric was so disappointed about the performance of his machine that he asked everybody about the optimum settings and why the Atlanta performed so great in our online - tournament at schachcomputer.info.

Finally he came to me (after the last round where the Magellan completely destroyed the RISC I) to open the shell of the module. As we did not have a screw driver, I took a fork from the buffet and opened it. If you look very closely you can also see that it is MODIFIED!!! , there is the 24.000 MHz quartz thing (well, it did not really help).

A case for the Schachcomputer Police I guess regards
Stefan

Hi Steve,

i think someone should have opened the Sapphire instead to make sure it was not really a Sapphire II

yes, Sapphire is suspect... Risc I played with a modified display, Magellan was overclocked at 24 MHz and Berlin Pro played with Fidelity Pieces.

Only the Risc 2500 and the Sparc were incontestably pure computers...
as the Sparc won the game between these computers...

Then my Sparc is the real winner of Paris 2007

The organizer can change the rules regards
