yes, I do remember this event even if I missed the first game.Steve B wrote:do not be so sure to give up on the Sparc Alain
i recently played two 30 minute games with the Sparc against the London 030-33 Mhz and it won as Black and i i think it would have at least drawn if not won as white(the game had to be aborted)
Anyway, I also played this week two 30s/move games between the Sparc and the TM (London) and the TM won easily : +1 a few moves after the opening, +2 10-15 later and then an easy win. It did not win its games like this against the Risc 1MB (in fact, the current score is 1.5-1.5 and could have been without a miracle 2-1 for the Risc) or the Montreux.
But I don't really care : I am happy to have a Spracklen program in our tournament and to operate the most beautiful chess computer (i.e. the Renaissance).
The goal is the tournament, not the result.
After all, we are not the programmers of these machines regards,
Alain
