In the moment i am trying out the differences between software version A and B. you can differenciate the 2 software versions by the openings they answer on 1.e4. the A module plays only e5 and c5 and needs arround 3" to play out the move. the module B plays the move in almost 1" and plays on 1.e4 also d5 and e6. it has a bigger variety in openings. the question is: which version is stronger. i once had a special tuned version of mephisto III S. it was a module running on 22-24 mhz and had an CMOS-68000 CPU and the eproms were modified so it had richard langs ROMA16bit into it and also Mephisto IIIS. you had a switch and you were able to switch the versions like it was possible in the fidelity premiere. it was a pity that i sold all those dedicated chess computers. and it was a sin to sell this module !! yes. i am a fan of this module because it makes so few NPS and is capable to make so much playing strength from so less nodes. IMO an A.I. program !
