in that link you can also download a 60 page bulleting where all the games are analyzed by one person of this forum. I hope you enjoy it

An incredible and perhaps surprising performance but it does show how these limited game tournaments can skew true performance capability that I recall lead to much disappointment in the days when the dedicated machines' suppliers relied on these as selling points but rarely achieved the level of their tournament or manufacturer's claimed ratings.
I believe that default settings of the polgar are not the stronger ones. If the brute force/selective search parameter is moved you can get better results. This tournament was won with that parameter moved. It is also known that there were two software versions of the polgar at 5 Mhz the 1.1 and the 1.5. The 1.5 is stronger. In this tournament the 1.5 version was used.
Hi CatPower,
I do not know wich settings where used.
There are 2 ways to find out wich version you have:
a) open your polgar module and see the sticker that is over the eprom
b) press at the same time the keys mem+info and then the info key and you will see the version you have.
Steve,
As far i could found out about the polgar there were 3 software versions. The 1.1 and the 1.5 both for the 5 Mhz model and the 10 version for the 10 Mhz model. I have the 1.1 version running on the 5 Mhz model.

OK thanks Ricardo
there are 3 Polgar Sisters so it makes some sense for there to be three Polgar software versions

Collectors Regards
are you telling me there is a fourth Polgar Sister??
actually now that i think about it
we could have a tournament just with the different Polgar versions
That is right Catpower i believe you have a collectors item. I have heard about a 1.4 version but never in a forum that i read have known about it. So i could not write anything about this version but finally it is true. Yes it wil be interesting to have a tournament between this 4 versions.

i'm in!
i would also be interested in trying out some different selective settings. i doubt the difference between version numbers is noticeable.
suspecting there might be versions 1.2 and 1.3 regards.
Yeah who knows?, now that we know there is a 1.4 version maybe there is a 1.2 or 1.3 or maybe both. To test the settings try to play against the montral 68000 again with different selective settings, lets say 4 or 6 games at one settings and then the same amount of games at another setting but use the same time controls. Polgar tends to play better at 30sec/move than 5sec/move or 10sec/move.
Recently my Polgar 5 went on the Fritz(no pun intended)
thankfully i was able to have it repaired and just received it back today
it is important to use a Mephisto "S" board if you want to use the Polgar 5 and 10 in the same board
anyway...in order to test the freshly repaired Polgar 5 i played this quick 5 min Blitz game against it taking the white pieces

DRAW by 3 fold Repetition
I am up a pawn but whom am i to refuse a draw against an opponent rated in the high 1900's ?
i am of course happy to draw .,but on the other hand.. i wonder if the computer is really fixed since it allowed a wood pusher such as myself off easy with a draw?
