I forgot a link to the relevant tournament

league III

The engine is the same except
some bug that I fixed in the version that I sent you and is not relevant for
playing strength.

Maybe Genius is relatively strong in endgame or relatively better against weaker
engines and I did not claim that I think that movei is not weaker than genius2
but that the difference is smaller than result of 6.5-1.5.

I remember matches of you between genius on 486 and palm tiger when genius with
a small hardware advantage beated palm tiger almost every game and I do not
think that the difference in playing strength was more than 200 elo.
