I appreciate that this poll would be more difficult to set up, but I'd like to know what chess computers people have, and how they rate them in terms of fun. I think that fun is tremendously important in a game. If a chess program is no fun - if it just beats you easily no matter how hard you try - it's not going to encourage you to play the game. On the other hand, if it is genuinely able to span the full range of abilities, (and not jump from "much too easy" to "much too difficult" between 2 levels), and play at your level at your time control, then this is going to be a great machine to play with. How many chess players can honestly say that they would have developed their skills in the game if their only experiences were either ridiculously easy wins, or defeat that was way above them?
