A 486dx-50 for Genius is okay but for Comet I can only offer a K6/233.
That's certainly too tough for Genius.

Before Aegon 1996, I used to match Genius on a 386/40 against Comet on 485/50
(this was roughly a factor of 2). On these hardware they seemed rather close.

I think, for the remaining 4 games I'll substitute Genius2 by the Genius3-engine
which comes with Ossis's MCS; then I don't have to operate manually. I think
that Genius can also get large hash tables under MCS and can use a very large
book. Comet will probably get slayed. -:)


Unfortunately, Chrilly's old DOS auto232 seems to have some problems on recent
computers. Except for the 1st game, I had to operate manually. In the other
games the Fritz6 autoplayer and the genauto.com didn't succeed to synchronize.
