Go up one level in this thread


>could you please give us some background about this computer which will trigger
>a big fight ?


yes this will cause quite a Sparc as you suggest Alain

:))

actually this computer needs no introduction,but that generally never stops me

:))

the STRONGST chess computer released by Saitek and the STRONGEST dedicated
program made by the Spracklen team before ending their marriage in a bitter
fiercly contested divorce

it was Rated at just around 2225 Elo


it was however a dissapointment because it was never as strong as was hoped by
Saitek

it is none the less  a VERY desirable collectors item
this one looks in PRISTINE condition with everything included(no photo of
original box but the seller mentions he has it)
i dont see the special wooden box for the pieces though..

the board of course is FULL TOURNAMENT SIZE and with an LED on each square

i imagine the module has the normal 1MB for hash table Ram(and not the upgraded
4MB)


it will go for MEGA bucks..THIS IS FOR CERTAIN


Divorce Attorney Regards
Steve
