I've always thought that there should be a "matching" level so that you and the machine always take the same time per game. Take five minutes for a move and so will the machine. My RISC 2500 was once returned to me after my friend beat it. Wow I thought, I'm stronger than him and I never did beat it. The game was still in the machines memory and (of course) he took about ten times as long as the RISC. Level playing field regards. Ray.
