At the WMCCC 1984 in Glasgow, while winning the shared title with Mephisto III A, Elmar Henne and Thomas Nitsche further competed with an experimental program with the Orwell brand-name, running on a 68000 processor of a [|NDR-Klein-Computer] interfaced with a Mephisto Modular board. When Hegener & Glaser abandoned the collaboration with Henne and Nitsche short later, to work with Richard Lang, Henne and Nitsche competed a last time at the WMCCC 1985 with three entries of Orwell, running on 68020 processors. || toc =Selected Games= WMCCC 1985, round 8, Orwell Y - Mephisto Amsterdam 2 code [Event "WMCCC 1985"] [Site "Amsterdam, The Netherlands"] [Date "1985.09.15"] [Round "8"] [White "Orwell Y"] [Black "Mephisto Amsterdam 2"] [Result "1/2-1/2"]
