- I agree. Also, remember that a "486/66" is really a 33 MHz system in all
- areas except for the CPU. The author of MChess thinks that his program is
- actually faster on a 486-50DX than on a 486-66DX2. And, most importantly,
- the version of ChessMachine you can buy for $750ish today runs at 15 MHz;
- the version that beat MChess Pro (in ONE game) was undoubtedly at least
- the upcoming 30 MHz RISC-based one. These facts, plus the posted test
- results, lead one to believe that MChess Pro is still pretty darned
- strong. And just wait till the Pentium chip from Intel...
