cool.

i am very happy to see pandix playing.
its cool that we can see all games on this spanish website.
the only thing i don't understand is that the game-score is not
accurate. they do not differenciate when e.g. which of the knights
moves to f6... so the game-score is not working ...

i would have expected a game-score kind of PGN.

isn't it a surprise that ICGA in 2009 is not capable to come with legal game-score ?!


As a natural Pandix fan i am looking forward to this game...

Is it possible to buy Pandix2009 somewhere ?
My last version of pandix is very old, was bought via Gambit-Soft
and was completely in red/green when i remember it right.
thats maybe 20 years ago ??

How strong did you think the older version of Pandix was? Do you have any source to oldies tournament with pandix in it?

[mclane]

the old version of pandix was at a time where you had no hash,
no UCI and no windows. it was IMO a dos version with a very passive
playing style. a little alike the dedicated chess computers with pandix into
it.

difficult to say. depending on hardware used.

in 1993 e.g. in munich pandix did a very good job:
