hi Jeroen

thank you VERY much for that very interesting piece of chess computer history!

it is very interesting to read about Jan Louwman the "Father of Chess computers"
as very little was ever written about him here in the US
i only know about his importance on the chess computer scene from talking to
collectors and with correspondence with fellow Dutch friends
even Tim Krabbe mentions his name often

of course it was also highly interesting to read about your performance against
these fairly strong computers

can i ask you what the time control was?

you must be a strong player to defeat these computers and even draw so easily

i realize you are an opening book expert so you outbooked the Dallas 020 but
still you must be a strong player

i imagine that since you were able to score 3-4 from these computers that
Louwman happily let you keep all of them for free??
:))

Eager  For More Schachcomputer Lore Regards
Steve
