hi Will >Blincoe got me thinking about the old machines, GOOD! now your talkin! so being Christmas and all, I >got out the old Boris and CompuChess. I knew Boris worked, but hadn't tried >CompuChess in the last 20 years or so. It made all kinds of odd displays after >power-on, but after much wiggling of the switches, it finally started working. >(!) its a great feeling wnen these old babies spring to life after all those years of sleep sort of like a "Rip van Winkle" effect this is a fairly typical position for the earlier machines they will try to cling onto the extra pawn for dear life the bishop on E6 blocking its own K-P is a typical "handling" of the Queens Gambit Accepted > >What move(s) will they select? while i havent tried this on the Boris or Compuchess i bet both will play either A6 or QD7 both reasonable moves but only because you have the level set to the highest possible i think they can manage a two ply search at that level >How much time will the solution take? i am thinking you got a reply in about 30 minutes i think if either of those maxhines ran for 5-8 hours straight you would have two dead computers on your hands :)) Steve
