Hi Fernando,

I must admit, that you got got me! I don't know Odesta. I remember an
article, which presents a list of nearly all programs for game consols
and computers in the early 80's. But I didn't find it. I personally
remember only the both programs above.
I would offer a draw in "this position" with little advantage for you,
ok?
