Lyon 68020 [1] Mephisto Lyon,

a set of dedicated chess computer modules by Hegener & Glaser for their Mephisto module systems with a program by Richard Lang, the successor of Mephisto Portorose. After Lang’s sixth consecutive World Microcomputer Chess Championship title as member of the Mephisto team at the WMCCC 1990 in Lyon, the modules were released in late 1990. Notable was the draw by reputation versus runner-up Échec 1.9. Already earlier in November 1990, the Lyon had its debut at ACM 1990, becoming co-champion shared with Deep Thought. It further played the Harvard Cup 1991 with less success, and the Aegon 1991.

Versions#

Three Lyon versions were shipped - with 68000 and 68020 processor, and the limited edition Mephisto Lyon Tournament machines with 68030 processor.
