Actually it was 1989. The good old times when we only had dedicated chess

Mephisto ruled the computer chess world, Richard Lang was still in business and
Ed Schroder was doing very well....  Sigh, some things have changed since then
:-).

I also remember the participants that Worldchampionship in Portoroz: Mephisto
Portoroz, Rebel, Plymate/Conchess, AI Chess, Quickstep (well, for some rounds,
we all know what happened), Kempelen Atari amongst others. We had 286 PC's that
were no match for the 68030 on 60 MHz :-). Rebel used the 6502 with a bit slice
machine, speeding it up to 18 MHz. Costs around 800 euro, I believe.

Yeah, those good old days :-).
