In my opinion, it is Sargon II (Dan and Kathe Spracklen, 1979). This engine on a
6502 processor has beaten several mainframes in an official event.
Or maybe an engine from Richard Lang, maybe the one that was in the Mephisto
Amsterdam. It was such a "quantum leap" at that time (1985).
Or maybe the version of Rebel that ran on a small ChessMachine in Madrid in
1992. This one too has beaten a fast multiprocessor program.
