This is mostly random noise anyway. What probably happened is that
Mchess liked the right move for a while, but then changes its mind.
On a slower machine, it doesn't have time to change, but on your
faster P5/133 it does.
Crafty is very similar. it likes several of the right moves at *very*
shallow depths, but changes to something else at deeper depths. It is
likely that if you ran crafty on a 8088/4.77 it might do better than it
did on the K6. :)

Hmm, I didn't have a closer look at the times so you may be right. But
this test is not my favorite one, I prefer the Howard-Exner-test-suite.
Most test-suites are stressed on tactics. That alone is not what I want to
test, a positional test in addiction to it is absolutely necessairy.
I'll have a closer look at the Reiter-test if this is again a tactics-test-
suite. If not it should be worth been taken into everyone's own tesing-
positioncollection.

Tja, one point against test-suites. :-)
In the Reiter-test position #3 seems not to be clear i.e., MCP6 prefers
Qf3 instead of Qh3 and evaluates at about +2.9 so this move won't be bad
either.
