Has anybody else had similar results? > >(Maybe a Radio Shack 2250 would be a good thing to buy used on eBay?) I have a Radio Shack 1850 table top. It certainly has a better opening book than my old Fidelity Chess Challenger 10, did, but it came out years later, too. Whereas the FCC10 had lots of chips in it, the RS unit has very few indeed! Tactically, it's stronger than Fidelity CC10, but it's lack of depth in the search leaves it generally clueless in the endgame. You certainly wouldn't want to match it up against Crafty, or similar programs, on today's computers. I did this, but ran out of patience before Crafty ran out of wins! :-) (on a PIII @ 950Mhz.) The touch sensitive board is nice though. (Sure hates ANY gypsum wall board dust!) Dave
