That seems strange, because on a 486DX2/66, MChess Pro 5 is only 26 points behind Genius 3 on the SSDF list, so about the same (at 2330). So, one would expect MCP 6 or 7 to be better. But maybe the program has been optimized for running on the Pentium machines? Note that on the Genius site, it says the Richard Lang is also doing it for Genius 6, now... Serge Desmarais
