MEPHISTO also beat grandmasters Robert Huebner and David Bronstein. MEPHISTO won the German blitz championship and earned an International Master norm by scoring 7-4 in the Dortmund Open. In 1994 Kasparov lost to Fritz 3 in Munich in a blitz tournament. The program also defeated Anand, Short, Gelfand, and Kramnik. Grandmaster Robert Huebner refused to play it and lost on forfeit, the first time a GM has forfeited to a computer. In Dortmund 2000 , the only decisive result came from the encounter between Veteran Grandmaster Robert Huebner and the chess computer program Junior 6. While the other matches ended in short draws, GM Huebner mistakenly resigned, in a position where he could have salvaged a draw" > >I only wonder how Huebner could prepare for the match. If he had enough time to >prepare then I wonder why he didn't manage to win at least one game. He had a lot of time to study his opponent ,it's a public available product anyway, and develop according anticomp strategies. Regards.
