Mondial's last game. It had a fierce winning run in its last 5 games, coming directly from 2 points to 6,5 now. In the game versus Turbostar Mondial seized domination from the beginning. And Turbostar kept bound in constraint positions till the final. If Mondial has a chance for attacking, it will a...

ok, if you have to get the module out and put it in when you swich, this is a bad solution and you should be glad to have sent it back. Putting the module in and out is bad for the module contacts. However, if it worked well for some seconds, I do not suppose defective contacts of the module. The pr...

next idea:
there might be a problem with the power supply. If it works fine only for some moments, an electrolytic capacitor in the power supply might be defective. This is simple to find and to repair: in 99% it is the biggest capacitor. But you already cleared the problem.

Hi Gary, sorry that my post is too late. I assume that the contacts of the switch (IV to V) are not clean. The method of switching the Eproms is to change + and - at certain pins of an Eprom. These switches often become dirty or oxidated after some years. So I'd recommend to move the switch on and o...

Mephisto Mondial II - Mephisto MM II +HG 240 1:0 After the last game I had a severe talk with Mondial recalling it to do its duty. Obviously this helped a lot. Like people chess computers sometimes need some grumbling. The very poor guy suffering from this new motivation was MM II which was really ...

Fidelity Elite Privat - Mephisto Mondial II 1-0 The Mephisto played too breezily, although there was no good base in its position. Don't worry, it's by Morsch. Elite Privat just had to wait for the bad mistakes of the Mondial. Then they came: 15. ... Nf8 was the first one, but the real looser came ...
