I'll try to send the manual to Alain after I have added two more sections - one on module changing and the other on how to force the beast out of the "locked" match mode.

I'll then call it a day on this project. As I told Parr yesterday, this machine unfortunately does not even crack the 1000 ELO barrier. And I've noticed it's track record at schachcomputer.info after 20 games paints the same ELO picture I've painted in my living room this last 5 days. I might be considered critical, but I stand by my earlier statements - it just throws away pawns and pieces falling into the most basic of novice traps time and time again.

It's no doubt an important relic in the history of computer chess, but for people like me who want to run proper tournaments and insist on a minimal level of chess competancy, it's unfortunately nothing more than a curiosity :(
