It has been claimed on a website dedicated to handheld computers that the rating of chessmaster on the gameboy computer system is about 1700 USCF Nothing could be further than the truth.I think the claim was made without knowing how strong a 1700 Uscf player actually is.Anyway here are the few moves of a game played at 40/2 destroying this myth: White:Chessmaster gameboy Black:Program X 1.d4 f5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 d5 5.PxP PxP 6.e3 c6 7.Bd3 Bd6 8.0-0 0-0 9.Bd2 b6 10.Rc1 Ne4 11.Qb3 Rf7 12.h3 Bb7 13. Rc2 c5 and now chessmaster gameboy played 14.Nxd5???? this just drop a piece ...because of pin...With more youngsters playing stronger chess one can only hope that the program coming for gameboy advance would be stronger than this...Chessmaster on gameboy probably has a rating of at most 1400 ,300 less than the oneclaimed on the Website.
