Unfortunately, it was not that important to Hsu and Campbell at the time they did the test. They were just trying to see how their evaluation held up against two leading microcomputer chess programs (Genius 5 and Rebel 8) of the time. When I asked Hsu for the game scores, he said he had no idea what happened to them. From his almost scornful description of the way the micros played, I did not doubt that he got the results he claimed. He would have to have been a very good actor to have simulated his disdain, if the results had been more even. Murray Campbell may have them, but I don't know since I haven't had an opportunity to ask him. kp
