I expect to get a RISC based program (Radio Shack Master 2200X) in about a week and will play a few serious games against the Designer 2100. I expect the Radio Shack to come out on top convincingly. The first computer I had was a Tandy 1650 and with me being a Class C USCF player it was just weak enough to allow me to play a lot of enjoyable games with enough wins to make me keep playing against it. I just about forgot how enjoyable playing against a stand alone computer really is. Maybe they will make a big come back someday. Regards.
