=The Tournament=
The host was represented by two programs, [[Cheiron]] and [[Alpha I]], a single processor version of [[Zugzwang (Program)|Zugzwang]]. Reigning World Microcomputer Champion [[Hiarcs]] wasn't represented by [[Mark Uniacke]], but a local operator, who unfortunately lost some time between moves up and then <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/dffcd4f0daf909e6 ICCA rules] by [[Martin Zentner]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 31, 1995</ref> <ref>[[Mark Uniacke]] ('''1995'''). ''Computers & Operators''. [[Computer Chess Reports|Computer Chess Reports Vol. 5 No. 3+4]] pp. 65</ref> <ref>[[Mark Uniacke]] ('''1995'''). ''Autoplayers''. [[Computer Chess Reports|Computer Chess Reports Vol. 5 No. 3+4]] pp. 66</ref> . [[MChess]] on the other hand was operated by an encouraged [[Peter Schreiner]] with great care. [[Richard Lang]] was abort on behalf of [[Chess Genius]], [[Johan de Koning]] with [[The King]]. From the United States [[Bruce Moreland]] was present, while [[Junior]] was operated by local university staff. [[Fritz]], who just won the [[Shannon Trophy]] a [[WCCC 1995|few months before]] did not participate in person, but his twin brother [[Quest]] by [[Frans Morsch]].
==Titles==
After a lot of tough and thrilling matches, the title of the Professional Microcomputer Chess Champion was finally shared between [[MChess|MChess Pro 5.0]] by [[Marty Hirsch]] and [[Chess Genius]] by [[Richard Lang]], which were tied with 8 out of 11 each. The title of the "absolute" Microcomputer Chess Champion was decided by a playoff, which was won by [[MChess]]. [[Ferret]] by [[Bruce Moreland]] from the United States played a strong tournament and became third a half point behind the top scorers, and gained the World Amateur Microcomputer Chess Champion title, since the tied [[Nimzo|Nimzo 3]] by [[Chrilly Donninger]] et al., from Austria, had to withdrawal the playoff for logistical reasons, after already being late due to the nerve-racking Blitz playoff. World Blitz Computer Chess Champion was won by [[The King]] by [[Johan de Koning]] from The Netherlands in 9 playoff matches against Nimzo 3.
<span id="TalXXXX"></span>
==System Tal vs XXXX==
A small anecdote appeared in the last round between [[Chess System Tal]] by [[Chris Whittington]] versus [[Martin Zentner|Martin Zentner's]] [[XXXX]] (FourX). Instead of a [[Promotions|queen-promotion]] with a fast mate, the graphical System Tal board indicated a minor promotion to a knight! System Tal operator [[Thorsten Czub]] played the move over the board and had to resign on behalf of Chess System Tal, while Chris, already celebrating the safe point in the cafeteria, was not amused when he arrived back on the board. A bug in a graphics drawing routine indexed the wrong piece and caused some rule discussions in the news groups <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/1318e6ca7a630206 TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD STOP PROGRAMMING CHESS] by [[Martin Zentner]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 20, 1995</ref> <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/9c7412af417a2e9f TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD STOP PROGRAMMING] by [[Tom Kerrigan|Thomas Kerrigan]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 24, 1995</ref> <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/124be7af6fd3fcd3 ICCA rules, was TOP 10 REASONS...] by [[Tom Kerrigan|Thomas Kerrigan]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 29, 1995</ref> . Chris on place argued the PVs, as stored inside a log-file, indicated the mate score and the correct moves. Nevertheless, Tournament Director [[Jaap van den Herik]] was unpersuadable.
=Winner's Curse=
With hindsight MChess' title of the "absolute" Microcomputer Chess Champion wasn't the expected commercial breakthrough of the [[MS-DOS]] program. [[Windows|Windows 95]] was already dominating the [[IBM PC|PC]]-market, and the trials by his European Distributor [[Martin Stamer]] to place a DOS program in the mass market was not that successful. Due to some formal advertisement faults by Stamer and some questionable and euphoric statements in his ''Chess Computer Catalogue 1996'' <ref>Der Schachcomputer-Katalog 1996, Redaktion: [[Peter Schreiner]], Editorial by [[Martin Stamer]], challenging [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov Garry Kasparov] to play [[MChess]]</ref> , problems arose, with monetary consequences for the programmers under contract, [[Marty Hirsch]] <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.chess.computer/CE8lF2uw1YY/7tWxUgLgFBoJ Marty Hirsch] by [[Andreas Mader]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], June 6, 1997</ref> and [[Gerd Isenberg]]. Mutual preliminary injunction initiated by Stamer's business rival [[Ossi Weiner]] and continuous court cases over years <ref>[http://lexetius.com/2003,1403 Bundesgerichtshof, Urteil vom 13. 2. 2003 (German)]</ref> was the consequence. In February 1997 Marty made a public accusation against his former distributor in a newsgroup <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.chess.computer/VkDSuYr15fo/yJlAa234Fj8J Re: KK's Gold Metal list] by [[Marty Hirsch]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], February 24, 1997</ref> , while he was already about to collaborate with Weiner. The German Magazine [[Computerschach und Spiele]] broached that issue <ref>[[Dieter Steinwender]] ('''1997'''). ''MChess vor dem Ruin''. [[Computerschach und Spiele]] 2/97 pp 42</ref> , where Stamer made a counterstatement.

The '''Thirteenth World Microcomputer Chess Championship''' took place from October 10-15, [[Timeline#1995|1995]], [[University of Paderborn]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paderborn Paderborn], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany Germany].
Two Computer World Championships in one year. After the [[WCCC 1995|8th World Computer Chess Championship]] in Shatin, Hong Kong - China in May, the 13th WMCCC in Paderborn was held in October, hosted and organized by the [[ICCA]] and the [[University of Paderborn]]. There were 34 participants, a record so far, 14 programs from Germany, four Dutch and British each, three from United States and Russia, one each from Austria, France, Denmark, Israel, Spain and Switzerland. The 13. WMCCC was simultaneously the [[IPCCC 1995|5th International Paderborn Computer Chess Championship]].

=The Tournament=
The host was represented by two programs, [[Cheiron]] and [[Alpha I]], a single processor version of [[Zugzwang (Program)|Zugzwang]]. Reigning World Microcomputer Champion [[Hiarcs]] wasn't represented by [[Mark Uniacke]], but a local operator, who unfortunately lost some time between moves up and then <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/dffcd4f0daf909e6 ICCA rules] by [[Martin Zentner]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 31, 1995</ref> <ref>[[Mark Uniacke]] ('''1995'''). ''Computers & Operators''. [[Computer Chess Reports|Computer Chess Reports Vol. 5 No. 3+4]] pp. 65</ref> <ref>[[Mark Uniacke]] ('''1995'''). ''Autoplayers''. [[Computer Chess Reports|Computer Chess Reports Vol. 5 No. 3+4]] pp. 66</ref> . [[MChess]] on the other hand was operated by an encouraged [[Peter Schreiner]] with great care. [[Richard Lang]] was abort on behalf of [[Chess Genius]], [[Johan de Koning]] with [[The King]]. From the United States [[Bruce Moreland]] was present, while [[Junior]] was operated by local university staff. [[Fritz]], who just won the [[Shannon Trophy]] a [[WCCC 1995|few months before]] did not participate in person, but his twin brother [[Quest]] by [[Frans Morsch]].
==Titles==
After a lot of tough and thrilling matches, the title of the Professional Microcomputer Chess Champion was finally shared between [[MChess|MChess Pro 5.0]] by [[Marty Hirsch]] and [[Chess Genius]] by [[Richard Lang]], which were tied with 8 out of 11 each. The title of the "absolute" Microcomputer Chess Champion was decided by a playoff, which was won by [[MChess]]. [[Ferret]] by [[Bruce Moreland]] from the United States played a strong tournament and became third a half point behind the top scorers, and gained the World Amateur Microcomputer Chess Champion title, since the tied [[Nimzo|Nimzo 3]] by [[Chrilly Donninger]] et al., from Austria, had to withdrawal the playoff for logistical reasons, after already being late due to the nerve-racking Blitz playoff. World Blitz Computer Chess Champion was won by [[The King]] by [[Johan de Koning]] from The Netherlands in 9 playoff matches against Nimzo 3.

==System Tal vs XXXX==
A small anecdote appeared in the last round between [[Chess System Tal]] by [[Chris Whittington]] versus [[Martin Zentner|Martin Zentner's]] [[XXXX]] (FourX). Instead of a [[Promotions|queen-promotion]] with a fast mate, the graphical System Tal board indicated a minor promotion to a knight! System Tal operator [[Thorsten Czub]] played the move over the board and had to resign on behalf of Chess System Tal, while Chris, already celebrating the safe point in the cafeteria, was not amused when he arrived back on the board. A bug in a graphics drawing routine indexed the wrong piece and caused some rule discussions in the news groups <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/1318e6ca7a630206 TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD STOP PROGRAMMING CHESS] by [[Martin Zentner]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 20, 1995</ref> <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/9c7412af417a2e9f TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD STOP PROGRAMMING] by [[Tom Kerrigan|Thomas Kerrigan]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 24, 1995</ref> <ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.computer/browse_frm/thread/124be7af6fd3fcd3 ICCA rules, was TOP 10 REASONS...] by [[Tom Kerrigan|Thomas Kerrigan]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], October 29, 1995</ref> . Chris on place argued the PVs, as stored inside a log-file, indicated the mate score and the correct moves. Nevertheless, Tournament Director [[Jaap van den Herik]] was unpersuadable.
=Winner's Curse=
With hindsight MChess' title of the "absolute" Microcomputer Chess Champion wasn't the expected commercial breakthrough of the [[MS-DOS]] program. [[Windows|Windows 95]] was already dominating the [[IBM PC|PC]]-market, and the trials by his European Distributor [[Martin Stamer]] to place a DOS program in the mass market was not that successful. Due to some formal advertisement faults by Stamer and some questionable and euphoric statements in his ''Chess Computer Catalogue 1996'' <ref>Der Schachcomputer-Katalog 1996, Redaktion: [[Peter Schreiner]], Editorial by [[Martin Stamer]], challenging [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov Garry Kasparov] to play [[MChess]]</ref> , problems arose, with monetary consequences for the programmers under contract, [[Marty Hirsch]] <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.chess.computer/CE8lF2uw1YY/7tWxUgLgFBoJ Marty Hirsch] by [[Andreas Mader]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], June 6, 1997</ref> and [[Gerd Isenberg]]. Mutual preliminary injunction initiated by Stamer's business rival [[Ossi Weiner]] and continuous court cases over years <ref>[http://lexetius.com/2003,1403 Bundesgerichtshof, Urteil vom 13. 2. 2003 (German)]</ref> was the consequence. In February 1997 Marty made a public accusation against his former distributor in a newsgroup <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.chess.computer/VkDSuYr15fo/yJlAa234Fj8J Re: KK's Gold Metal list] by [[Marty Hirsch]], [[Computer Chess Forums|rgcc]], February 24, 1997</ref> , while he was already about to collaborate with Weiner. The German Magazine [[Computerschach und Spiele]] broached that issue <ref>[[Dieter Steinwender]] ('''1997'''). ''MChess vor dem Ruin''. [[Computerschach und Spiele]] 2/97 pp 42</ref> , where Stamer made a counterstatement.
