Massy is first of all a friend's tournament, a relaxed event where programmers enjoy being together, telling jokes and anecdotes. It is not even the (almost) yearly "Championnat de France"... Tiger has won many times, and remember, it is now the only French professionnal program. So Massy was mainly a testbed for Chess Tiger X, in a few competitive games, and a way for Christophe to say hello, from Guadeloupe, to his colleagues. This was no warfare, no overkill was sought using machines à la Aaron Gordon :-)) I operated, as usual, for Christophe, and used my good old PII-450, overclocked to 504 (only possible when I bring my desk fan). After all, a small handicap makes it more fun ! Concerning the game lost on operator time (at the 111th move), well, these things just happen, unless Fischer clocks are used, which certainly could'nt be provided by the Massy club, which provided all the rest, including the good atmosphere. That game against Franck Zibi was a good and tense game, and that counted more than looking for some adjudication using Tiger's +6 advantage. And congratulations again to El Chinito !
