It does have exactly the same features, which includes: - Two different playing styles: selective and brute force - Four opening book choices: active, passive, tournament book and all book moves (and you can turn the opening book off) - 64 levels, including tournament time controls, blitz, analysis (infinite) and solving mate up to mate in 8 moves - And, which is really great for such a low-priced product, it has a program- mable LCD display, which can display up to 4 moves of the current principal variation, the current evaluation score, nodes/second, the current search depth and information about the time for both sides. I'm not 100% sure, if the engine is the same as in KTC and GK2000, but I guess it is. I only compared two positions on my GK2000 and the Miami until now, and the results were exactly the same. If it is the same engine, then it's maybe worth to mention that this engine was written by the Fritz programmer Frans Morsch (as most of the new Saitek engines). Well, I've fallen in love again... ;-) ...and, ehm, the Miami has beaten me in my first game against it... Greetings, Heiko.
