Episode 1903 was broadcast on 16 December 1996, and was the third quarter-final in the final stages of the Supreme Championship.

Notably, this is the only known occasion of a player getting the max score in every round without getting the best solutions — in Round 4, Saldanha still scored the max of 7 points with his declared target of 893, but he failed to find the closest possible target of 891.
