Mephisto Montreal 68000 vs. Mephisto Exclusive MM V

[@TymexComputing]

Spoiler alert - 24:00 - similar QxR with a running pawn happened few days ago in a Titled Tuesday game of Magnus Carlsen against Kacper Piorun (Poland)

Thank you! I will check that match.

@@followyourpassion8378 watched it yesterday at Epic Chess channel - guy with manchester accent - i'm not sure if that runaway pawn happened on the board or only was a variation to consider but the rook sac tactic is always nice to imagine :)

Do you mean this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqvOfIFnptaCntEfeature=shared

Really interesting 🤔

[@followyourpassion8378]

@@jayboleng4896 Sarcastically or did you expect another outcome?

[@TymexComputing]

Montrealol 68k :) - only around 1:11 i realized your playing like Mefisto on two mefistos - first i thought you are looking for differences between two levels of play eg 3rd and 4th

You are right, it is confusing with the two boards, I actually had wanted to put in textboxes "White pieces" and "Black pieces" on the first two pictures of the machines, but couldn't make it work. I recorded it like that, because I wanted to show both computer displays in the Lang vs. Schröder match. Of course, the Roma program (Lang) runs on 16bit with a 64k ROM/ 16k RAM, while the MM V (Schröder) has 8bit and 32k/8k. But Roma is a couple of years older than MM V and processing power is actually comparable, being Roma on a 68000 with 12MHz and MM V on a 65C02 with (almost) 5MHz.

@@followyourpassion8378 Thank you for detailed explanation - i am not much into the engine boards of that or todays era (except that spanish scam of moving pieces) but some time in life i found info about how todays DGT took over the unpatented standard of some other company digital board recognition of 6 different pieces (LC circuits)

I have the Exlusive with MMV module too. Unfortunately there is something wrong and the power will shut off during playing. I'm looking for someone who can repare that.

[@followyourpassion8378]

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you could ask for some pointers regarding how to fix the problem here: sites.google.com/view/berger-projects www.elektroschach.de/contents/de/about.html It would be interesting to know, if it is the power adaptor, the board or the modules that cause the problem. Did you try a different ac adaptor yet? And did you check the modules in a different board (exclusive/modular)?

[@followyourpassion8378]

Any luck?
