After some more crude maths from my side one should expect at least 2230-2250 SSDF on 486dx50 for Yace I think - so a very good match result for the little Tiger. The match results still suffer from the little number of games played of course. But my personal impression is that Yace doesn't really play at this level on the 486 - battle against Tiger was open and there weren't any lucky games; it felt like equal forces battling it out all the time( except of the first game). I suspect Yace is weaker than the expected value on the slow hardware. It missed quite a lot tactically and suffered from the low depths it reached very much, especially in the endgame. I think I should add a calibration partner to the "contest" soon - this one looks quite useful: 82 Genius 4.0 DOS 486/50-66 MHz 2266 23 -23 900 49% 2270 In fact I was much impressed by Comet B42's play in the 20 games against the Tiger so far - it might well be simply much stronger than expected on this slow hardware. Yace felt weaker in comparison in its match. Lots of guesswork - don't slaugter me, lady and guys :). Peter
