John, This is a re-post of Fernando's great game. "Here it is. It was played in a PC powered by an AMD K-6, 450 Mhz, 256 Mb Ram. Average nod count was 25 Kn. Villegas,Fernando - Hiarcs 8 [D50] 06.05.2002 D50: Queen's Gambit Declined: Dutch-Peruvian Gambit 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Bg5 c6 5.e3 Bb4 6.Bxf6 Bxc3+ 7.bxc3 Qxf6 8.Nf3 Nd7 9.cxd5 exd5 10.Bd3 0-0 11.0-0 Qe7 12.Qc2 Nf6 13.Ne5 c5 14.Qb1 b6 15.a4 Be6 16.a5 bxa5 17.Rxa5 c4 18.Bc2 Qc7 19.Rb5 Rab8 20.Nc6 Rxb5 21.Qxb5 Rc8 22.Nb4 Rb8 23.Qa4 Bd7 24.Qa3 Rb5 25.Ra1 Ng4 26.g3 a5 27.Na6 Qb6 28.Nc5 Qh6 29.h4 Qf6 30.Rf1 Be8 31.e4 dxe4 32.Nxe4 Qf5 33.Qc1 Qg6 34.Ng5 f5 35.Re1 h6 36.Ne6 Bf7 37.Nf4 [¹37.Nc7!?

With Hiarcs 7.32 I usually get an average of 35 Kn/sec on my 333 Mhz PII with 96 MB RAM and over six times that speed using the AMD 1400 with 512 MB RAM. I am not sure that there is not some pesky background program running on Fernando's machine i.e. virus scanner etc. I use highly filtered A.C. current running thru a large UPS. But that shouldn't make too much difference.
