Nice. Vampire wins even 080 has nominally lower clock and no FPU and MMU and no AGA in "Which Amiga" :-)

I really liked this, tempted to pit my V500 against my V600 and see who wins! :D

Battle Chess does not use MMU (why should it?) nor FPU (it's a game from 1988). Ah, and it's not AGA, not even ECS - it's OCS.

So what exactly has been your point again? :D

Yes, I know battle chess from my vanilla Amiga 1200, later on mid powered by 020/28, FAST, FPU ... Seen it even on friends A500.

Love the idea, but find chess games taking too long.

But observation was purely on observed specs info
how Classic tools see competitors. We know how really advanced
Vampire design is to any classic.
