It's easy to overestimate the impact of hardware.  Fruit was maybe twice as slow
as it could have, which translates to -50 Elo from what I have read.

-50 Elo do not explain everything.  Maybe the game with AnMon would have been
different (lots of tactics), but I don't think so for the other two.

Yes, by Frederic Louguet.

I've just explained why, it has nothing to do with the final score which is
clearly good.

Make that "at most" 50 Elo.

I operated in most of the games.  Since it was the first time, I translated 10+3
into 8+0 for the engine.  Not that adding a minute of two would have made any
difference.

You wouldn't believe how hard it is for me to write readme files.
I always postpone it to the very last moment.
I think I add jokes into them as a defense mechnism against pain.
