Go up one level in this thread


Alan,

What you and I need are faster brains.  Paul Morphy was quite superior but he
realized that chess is just a game.

I can sell you my old Pentium 133 Mhz machine with MChess Pro 8.0 on it and you
will have lots of fun. If you want more fun then  I will ask my dad in British
Columbia to sell you his 80386 with 8Mb RAM and Rebel 8.0 on it.

The AMD 1400 that I have now is too fast for me.  I do like to be beaten...by my
wife, by life and by chess computers.  I do love to play Quake III Arena at
260 frames per second at 1024X768 32bit resolution.  I can win at that game.

Have fun,

Tim
