In the 70's, the advantage (even winning advantage) went often from one side to the other several times, and usually neither program realised what was going on. If you have not seen those games, you really should. Of course the playing level was very low, even the micros from the early eighties were very weak. Probably that level of play was about the best that could be obtained with the limited hardware resources of those times. José.
