How is it possible to lose a game on time when you have set the time to 100m/40 moves? It must have been on purpose. I have been an operator in Skelleftea and I thoght it was my duty to have everything installed and ready when the players arrived. I served two computers simoultaneously and no program lost on time. it was very interesting to follow the games vs strong IMs and IGMs. Mach 4 won against a FM with 2300. Among the spectators I saw Kortnoj, Tal and Andersson. Bertil >On May 12, 2000 at 17:33:35, Bertil Eklund wrote: > >> >>What is this all about?
