Having spoken with Dr. Campbell in person about this 10-game match, their statements on this issue do not strain their credibility to me. My impression after our conversation ended was that the games were wipe-outs, much like they would be if I (as a 2100 player) sat down at a local pub and played some skittles games against some random people (who might be 1600 or so). The game is going along fine, whoops, they missed something, here comes ...Rxf2!, and it's smashorama. No, I would not record the games for posterity later, and neither did they. I don't recall Murray suggesting that the crippled prototype had equivalent computing power to the microcomputer competition, just that it was crippled by a very large factor from their "good stuff".
