Hi,

this match was very interesting, thanks for posting it.

>As for the Star Diamond's opponents, with the Lyon 68000 rated only 25 points
>less by SSDF, one would expect a more heated competition. But it didn't happen,

What was the time control ?

I once made a "tournament" between a few machines I own and tried to make them
play at G/30. As dedicated computers do not always have all imaginable time
controls, I had choosen the level closest to this G/30.

The Mephisto Modena performed particularly bad in this tournament, even losing
against the Sargon 2.5 ! For the last games, I changed its level to 30s/move and
it played a lot better !

Since that, I know that a small change in the level selection can make a big
difference.

Best,

Alain
