Here's the 2 games from the 1st Sveshnikov Nunn position at tournament time
controls. I found the games to be very interesting, if not revealing. So please
do yourself a favor and take a look at the actual moves, not only the scores.
The PII-400 (256 MB RAM) I used for CST (Paris version including new style from
www.oxford-softworks.com) is about 2.5 times as fast as the P233MMX (128 MB
RAM), according to the built-in CST benchmark.
I deliberately use the Nunn positions, because they guarantee that
a) I publish all 20 games - no more no less, no selection of particularly "nice"
games
b) The Nunn positions are generally accepted - with the ingenious mind and
authority of GM Dr. John Nunn behind them, they are probably better than any
"Moritz Berger" test suite.
c) You can replay the games exactly if you use the same hardware or can compare
differences on different machines, at different time controls, vs. different
opponents, ...
Of course, the Nunn test makes only sense with opening books disabled, which I
did. Now have fun with the games (scores by Hiarcs 6, I have kept also the CST
logfiles, if you want them), 18 more to follow ...
