Hi Stefan,

yes I am also happy, but for me it is even more important to participate rather than winning. I guess the Risc will not have a chance for the 1st place, in Speed Chess I guess the RISC 2500 and the Magellan are favourites (they both played very very strong in our recent online tournament at schachcomputer.info).
I can tell you that in recent 30s/move games I played, the Risc 1MB performed very well against my TM London, even better than the Montreux ! So don't underestimate your chances ! (I would not have choosen the Risc 1MB first otherwise

)
I suggested to take Resurrection Deep Sjeng first but after heavy and hard negotiations with the committee during 3 nights and some bottles of Bordeaux I was convinced by Alain

(I am a rich man now, you know...)
OK, I know now what I have to bring to Saints in addition to the computers...
long live democracy regards
Yes, the replacement of Deep Sjeng by another computer was asked by a majority of players, I was only the spokesman
No chance to win with the Sparc which almost lost to the Nigel Short a few days ago regards,
Alain
