Contrary to conventional Wisdom the radio shack gets Weaker not stronger at fast time controls, it actually gets much weaker with less time to think. I suggest that if you want a serious game against it, you play at 40/2hr. Ofcourse this may be too long of a game for you, but if you want a decent challenge you will have to give it the neccessary time. I have been told by clerks at Radio shack that the 2150 is not the Elo of the computer, but the model number.
