Subject: Paris Jebbink Prize to MChess and Hydra !

Many games of the last round are finished, yet. And the top of the
final ranking is:

1. Junior (PII-300) 9.5
2. Virtual (PII-300) 8.0
3. Shredder (Alpha-533) 7.5

4.-(6or7) MChess, Ferret, Hydra and maybe Toledo ( game still running )
   all 7.0

Ferret is on Alpha-767 and Toledo on PII-300.
So the prizes of Herbert Groot Jebbink ( for best teams on hardware
with tact 233 or slower ) go to MChess and Hydra, both on K6-233.
The refined ranking is not known yet. But probably MChess will have
the better one.

Probably it was not the first intention of Herbert to give the prize
to two professional teams, but such is life. Both programs really are
strong to achieve such a performance on "normal" hardware.
Congratulations!    IA
