Finest Moments

Just to put a bit a perspective of what the Mirage proponents are using as the basis of what a Nelson program could do if placed into a faster computer. The below examples are games which you can all play back with your own dedicated computers if you have a Sensory Voice. This is Nelsons best computer at Fidelity, none were better. So this is the one folks!

This Folks is the best of Nelson that supposedly was taken with him to Excalibur and used as the basis to create Mirage, Ivan, Grandmaster & Igor.

I don't have a problem remembering what happened 8 years ago.

Best regards

Funny positions. I've just enjoyed the latter two on my Atlanta. Thanks.

The Nelson machine has no permanent brain and runs on a weak hardware.
Also programming has made big progress in that time.

If you want to see how Nelson was let it play versus Boris, mk3 and intelligent chess.
