Even in 1988-89 Deep Thought had lots of hardware advantage over its micro challengers. Here are two games that DT lost. I wonder how that machine then would do now? Who were the programmers of Mephisto and Plymate? The plymate game looks a bit odd to be a 40/2 encounter. Does anyone have info on the time control for that game?
