Hi Harvey

in an effort to get things settled as to the match details

GM Uniake must decide on WHICH Excellence i am to use

there were three models released for the Excellence 3 mhz

Model 6080-your basic Vanilla ..no frills ..1755 Elo rated ..Excellence:

http://new.photos.yahoo.com/cpaa2@sbcgl ... 787477/121

Model 6092..the Voice Excellence..same exact program and hardware as the basic Excellence but can speak FOUR languages:
English
French
Spanish
German
http://new.photos.yahoo.com/cpaa2@sbcgl ... 815072/128

Model 6093-Excel Display

a mute like the 6080 but has a display screen which can show clock times,depth of search and Position Valuations:
http://new.photos.yahoo.com/cpaa2@sbcgl ... 952609/129

and for the occasion i offer for your consideration ..a rare .. fourth choice...
the Fidelity Excellence Deluxe

same as the 6080 but surrounded in glorious.. life sustaining ..Wood..
a creation by Fellow Countryman of yours and Marks
Sir Bryan Whitby:

http://new.photos.yahoo.com/cpaa2@sbcgl ... 841069/123

personally i think the Excel Display would make the games more interesting as i can then report PV's from time to time during actual game play

if Gm Uniake prefers the Excellence Voice then i insist on French as the language
very pleasant on the ears..if you ask me

Pick Your Poison Regards

Hi Steve,

I have sent a link to your questions to GM Uniacke and am awaiting a responce. If the French language is used I insist that Alain be seconded to the Hiarcs team to ensure fair play.

The excel display does sound interesting. I doubt Mark will mind which you use but will await his reply.

Harvey

Alain is a PERMANENT member of the Collectors Corner team and cannot be allowed to join Team Hiarcs under any circumstances

Team Hiarcs is ALREADY comprised of some of the most influential people computer chess has ever known
Uniacke has produced an engine at or near the top for almost two decades! where many of todays leading programmers were still in diapers suckling from their Moma's breast milk
Hallsworth is a renown opening book author and the most knowledgeable expert in dedicated computers alive today
Williamson quite possibly the best human operator for high stakes Pc Engine match play there ever was
not to mention the untold millions behind the scenes supporting Team Hiarcs with food,refreshments and moral support

while the Collectors Corner Team is made up of me and occasionally Alain who watches the games if he has nothing better to do

We go with Spanish as the language then Regards
Steve

as a coincidence

there is a nice Voice Excellence up on EBay even as we speak
the VE although not really a rare computer is not all that common either:

Unfortunately, I'll probably not be able to attend this new match (I suppose it is on Sunday at the usual time) or may be only for the first few minutes. :(

Then I would not be helpful...

good!
at least i THINK its June 10th

since you also have a beautiful 6080 Excellence in your collection..
perhaps you can play along at home to VERIFY that i am also using the same program

in the last two matches with my CC3 there were some rumblings that i was using a different computer
