I just got word that a MC68020 (Benchmark/20 board) won the last world
chess championship for microcomputers winning 8 out of 8 games.  In second
and third place were MC68000 chips running at 15 mHz (a speed we don't
support by the way) with scores of 7 wins out of 8 games.

The program was MEPHISTO (for all three I think - TWX msg wansn't clear) and
the company also won the team championship by claiming 22 out of the 24
possible points.

Motorola didn't have the money in these hard times to send me with my '020
chess program.  Perhaps it's best I didn't go after all :-).
