Subject: Paris: Free drinks for wins of "slow vs fast"

Author: Ingo Althofer

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.

PS: The only program on "intermediate" hardware is Nightmare on a
PII-266.
