Subject: Old computers still strike hard: Kasparov Risc 2500 Vs Sharpchess

Author: Fernando Villegas

After playing Kasparov at 40 moves in one hour, with a draw as a result, I
pitted the old, venerable machine, against a freeware, Sharpchess,  at 20
seconds per move. As you can imagine, Sharpchess runned in my Pc with a
processor many many times faster than the one in Kasparov, but even so Kaspy had
the high hand.
The position ended like this:

6k1/4p2p/6p1/8/p7/5PK1/6PP/8 b - - 1 38

There I said it was enough. Kaspy, with blacks, showed that a good program is
still far superior to an average engine, no matter how much faster is.

If I can get the full game from the bowels of sharpchess and you are interested,
It will be publizshed here.
