Friday and Saturday my company was in a trade show.  The biggest attention
drawer was gnuchess running on a dual processor 88k machine with 64M of RAM --
we were giving away an internal 2400 baud modem to the first person that
could defeat gnuchess in speed chess (5min/side).  We still have the modem.
The score: gnuchess 61, humans 0.  (7 of those victories were against USCF
masters [2200 and above]).  Only once was the program seriously challenged,
and it was way ahead on time and the master dropped a piece in the time
scramble.  I would estimate the provisional rating at around 2200, being
brought down by a lot of lower rated players.
