I am absolutely sure, John. That year Chess Champion Challenger won a tournament
in London. At most it could be in 1981, but not later. An after CC came Elite,
the first version, even stronger and probably another leap. From Elite came a
lot of subincarnations called Super Nine, etc. Ask Baurmeister, the most
