Go up one level in this thread


The competitors of the world microcomputers championship have just
received a mail from Mr Marsland, saying that:

1) Heureka, Chess Wizard and Hiarcs have withdrawn.
2) Their places are being taken by: Kallisto, M-Chess Pro 7.0 and
TechoChess.

We already knew for Heureka.

Chess Wizard, written by Frederic Louguet, is a strong french program,
it made 2nd four days ago in the french microcomputer championship, just
behind Virtual Chess. Its author seems to be too busy to compete this
year. Believe me: you'll hear about this program again.

It seems that $1000 entry fee has thrown out of competition one of the
best program in the world: Hiarcs. If it is the case, I totally
understand Mr Uniacke. The price is too high for professionals. To pay
your fee you have to sell more than a hundred units of your software.
For some of the "professionals" it's not so easy.

TechnoChess, written by Christophe Jolly, is another french program. It
made 7th in the last french championship. I don't know much more about
it.
