If I recall correctly the levels in order of increasing strength are 1, 2, 3, 7, 6, 5, 4. I'm sure that level 7 was 3 minutes per move and that one of 4, 5 or 6 was postal, which took hours. I think (I have the manual at home) the levels went level 1: 5 seconds level 2: 15 seconds level 3: 120? seconds level 4: postal/mate finder? level 5: 20 minutes? level 6: 6 minutes? level 7: 3 minutes Does anybody have Ron's current email address?
