I thought I might try out the new Chess Gate personalities against some dedicated machines.
So I have selected 'Karpov' at a rating of 2100. I have set the time limit at 15+10. This will give me time to transfer moves.
First up is a Mephisto Vancouver 68020 which has a rating of 2175 on the 'Turnierschach ELO Liste' The time control will be BLITZ 15mins.
