Very interesting. We are essentially rated the same, I am still 1432 USCF. On the "1650" model back in the mid 80s, level 4 I did ok against, about 40% once I got used to how small the pieces were. Level 5 beat me pretty good, about 3 to 1. Level 6 took too long for me. Level 3 and I were about even. (There was a level with no red lights I called level 0, but that could be level 1. I called the level with one light level 1.) On this "4in1" model I haven't lost yet on level A4, now I'm having problems changing the level on it. Mark
