Hello Ingo,

the "Super Conny" I possess no more but only the newer Super Forte C (with the
same famous PSH algos ?) somewhere in my cellar :-)

Instead of this chess computer I tried the MCS engine WChess 2000 by Dave
Kittinger (on PIII-800, 64 MB hash, under Chess Assistant 6.1).
After 40 minutes and complete analysis of depth 12:
