Subject: Saphire II - Why don't we have updated chess engines for chess computer

 I have the Saphire II and eventhough it is much slower than a PC, I believe
that any top program playing at the same speed as the Saphire, would beat it
badly ( it looks like the Saphire II lacks a lot of chess knowledge ). Since
it's release, I have not seen anything better.

 What happened to chess computers ?  Why don't they have the best chess playing
 algorithms as we have on chess playing softwares ? ( I think if we had
 versions of Tiger, Rebel , Fritz or Junior on a pressure sensory chess
computer, it would easily beat the saphire II ).


 I keep wanting to purchase a new chess computer, but I can't find any
significant improovement over the old ones.  Is the chess computer market
 beeing replaced by chess software  ?
