hi Alan
>  I have: a) 1997 - Fidelity Chess Chalanger 7 - rated at that time 1300 elo.

typo of course..1987


the old chess computers of yesteryear were the building blocks of todays
screaming meamie PC progs (running on a gabillion Mhz and taking up 20 Gig of
program code)

the chess programmers of the first dedicated units(Nelson,the
Spraclen's,Kittenger,etc..)used far less program code and had far less hardware
to work with.and yet still produced very reasonable playing programs

i oft wonder what todays sucessful "Super Star" programmers would have produced
had they so little to work with

im betting...it would not have been pretty

Minimalist Regards
Steve
