I also have perhaps a more recent experience with these programs. On the FICS I have played games between a ChessMachine ARM 14Mhz Risc machine running either Ed Schroeder's 3.0 program or DeKoning's 2.2 program. I could if you like look up some results for you. My recolection is that versions of GNU chess at up to 200Mhz were losing more than they were wining. Keep in mind that GNU was at a time advantage (most were 2 12 games) due to it's automated response, while I had to use a mouse on 2 computers. You could find the Chess Machine listed on the SDF list and perhaps get an idea that way. If you are interested let me know. On the FICS the games would be listed as ChexATZ
