Subject: Style of the Sapphire II portable computer?

Hi guys,

I hope someone who has played several games with the Sapphire II could describe
how it played.  I'm interested because it seems reasonable that if the II played
in a certain way/proclivity of moves than the new Star Sapphire might play the
same way.

My old Radio Shack 2150L plays a little on the boring side.  This means that
when it could have been pushing pawns and pressurizing the center, it often
repositioned the rooks or brought the queen back to the c2 square.  Maybe this
repositioning was indeed a good plan, but I would have felt under more pressure
if the pawns were flying toward me.  This is one reason why I didn't upgrade to
the latest Radio Shack computer a year or 2 ago when it came out.

One thing I think I will like about the Tiger for palm is the choice of the
engines.  I'm sure if I picked the suicidal option those pawns would have been
flying at me from every quarter.
