the high speed was the reason that the sparc often crashed 1993 at the championship in munich.

guenter niggemann was operating it.
and you remember what happens if a renaissance hangs, or crashes. either it computes without ever moving (your clock runs out) or it moves fast because in fact the renaissance kaplan program runs on level a1 )

both effects can make the game lost.

i remember when guenter destroyed the sparc in munich against mchess,
when he pulled the plastic ribbon from the hardware to "resign".

the only thing i don't understand is, why did eric winkler in 1993 did not offer enough money to mark uniacke to buy the licence rights for producing hiarcs champion into the sparc modules. we will maybe never know. maybe he knew that saitek will be bancrott and has not enough money. i don't know. all i know is that in the negotiations between mark and eric winkler in munich,
saitek did not offer much money.

mark was new world chess champion and the little money saitek offered was kind of joke.
