The answer is: Fidelity Avant Garde vs. Fidelity Elite XC. It was played in the 1985 U.S. Open Computer Chess Championship in Mobile, Alabama. The final position 8/2p3kp/6b1/p3K1P1/7P/1P1B4/P7/8 w Fidelity Avant Garde resigned as white in this won position so Fidelity's Elite XC (black), its then top of the line machine could take first place. > >Bruce, any idea?
