Go up one level in this thread
This guy, Ron Nelson, was indeed the programmer of CC7 fidelity unit. BTW It was not that basic as to play or accept ilegal moves. Some day I requested them in Fidelity some explanations about the search technique of this machine and the answer was, more or less, the following: level 1: just two ply, full width level 2: three plys full width level 3: I do not remember level 4: 4 plys full witdth level 5: three full width plys, then two selective level 6: two full width plys, then three selective level 7: 5 full width plys. Respect the new machines he program in Excalibur, at least the hand held models has the novelty of doing every thing with the tiniest processor available today. Ron is very proud of it. Ron, BTW, is an old man considerd by the criteria of the average of age of programmers, Ed included. Cleary Ron was and is a bright guy and merits some hoopla. Fernando
