Up to round 9 the following programs, running on slow hardware ( 233 MHz or less ) achieved wins against programs on fast hardware ( PII- 300 or Alpha with 500+ MHz ): For each successful team I mention only the win against the highest ranked "fast hardware program" ( until round 9 ): Capture ( K6-200 ) won against Tiger ( PII-300 ) Eugen ( K6-200 ) won against Crafty ( Alpha 533 ) Gandalf (K6-200) won against Shredder ( Alpha 533 ) Goliath (K6-200) won against Crafty Hydra (K6-233) won against Tiger MChess (K6-233) won against Ferret ( Alpha 767 ) SOS (K6-200) won against XXXX ( PII-300 ) Stobor (K6-200) won against Fritz ( PII-300 ) A special case is Junior. In round 4 it won against Ferret. However, Junior started the tournament on a K6-200 and switched to a PII-300 at some point. Currently I don't know on which hardware Junior played this round 4. Assuming the worst case concerning Junior, up to now at most 9 free drinks may have been spent for operators of programs on slow hardware. Ingo Althoefer. PS: The only program on "intermediate" hardware is Nightmare on a PII-266.
