Till 1 week ago, I only had my Pentium 90 with 32 MB RAM. And with this Computer
I developed my Inmichess and played at ICC Blitz games (5 5) reaching 2300 ELO.
OK.
This will be a really "Blitz" Tournament, same like most games on ICC.
And my program most times comes down to ply 6 to 7 (I always wondered, what you
guys talk about ply 10...)
So just have fun and play!!!!!! (thats shouting!)

Werner

P.S: Now I have also a K6-2 450......
