Hi: The first version of Travel Champion was around 2060 USCF Elo, rated by the USCF in fast games. It was based in fritz 1 by Morsch. nevertheless, Travel Champion 2100 is based in fritz 2 and should to be a lot stronger than tyhat, maybe 2200 USCF Elo. In any case it is a wonderful litle marvel, with all the frills and necesary function for a so cheap machine. Ending is weak, truth, compared with the standar of actual top programs, but is not "that" weak compared with average stand alone unitS on the 80'S or even with the average capabilities of club player. fernando
