The WCHESS program made waves some years ago with a result at game/25
against 6 Grandmasters at the Harvard Cup. Result was 4 wins, 2 draws,
no losses. Performance rating was close to 2900. All on a 90mhz
Pentium with oodles of memory.

My question is related to the nps on this. Most of the chess programs
I run on a dinky 25mhz 486 run at about 1000-3000 nodes per second.
WCHESS weights in typically at 10,000 nps. Seems pretty high to me.

Anyone have other comments about WCHESS (the version currently being
sold with the Novag Universal Chess board -- same version that scored
the above at the Harvard Cup years ago)?

Thanks.
