This is not directly related to Gnuchess, but perhaps indirectly.
Anyway, I've just bought a copy of Grandmaster Chess which runs on the
PC.  It says on the box that you can get a refund if ChessMaster 3000 or
Sargon V can beat the program.  More interesting is it says parts of the
program is copyrighted by John Stanback, which struck me as a familiar
name.  It took another 10 minutes before I realized that John Stanback
was the person who started writing Gnuchess.  Interesting.

I've got the opportunity to play GM Chess (25 Mhz 386) vs Gnuchess 4.0
(DECstation 5000).  GM Chess wins almost everytime.  I'll post the games
when I've collected a few of them.
