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 ? Osorio
