In 1991, our microcomputer program the Chess Machine was declared World Champion in the Micro tournament in Vancouver. But that was only the beginning! The next year, in Madrid, an improved version of Chess Machine won the World Champion title for ALL CLASSES. The mainframes' domination of computer chess was finally broken! In 1993, in cooperation with Hegener & Glaser, we released our first PC-based chess program, Mephisto Gideon.
