Chess nuts

(topical, smirk, computers, games)

Writing in the New York Times, December 6, 1994, chess columnist
Robert Byrne gloats:

"Joel Benjamin, baffling a computer with human
technique, wins a Harvard Cup spinoff match.

"The match billed as the Fifth Harvard Cup Intel Championship
Playoff was not really a proper playoff....  In the playoff,
at the Manhattan Club on Nov. 9, Joel Benjamin upheld the
honor of the humans by winning from WChess, 4 to 1.

"WChess, programmed by David Kittinger and running on a 90MHz
Intel Pentium Processor......."

   Right.  Now the question is: Can Joel uphold our honor
against an opponent WITHOUT a handicap?

(From the "Rest" of RHF)
