Sorry Fernando that I wasn't able to respond to your post yesterday afternoon. I played 6 games at avg. time 30 sec; 6 games at avg. time 60 sec; and 7 games at 40/2 with repeating 1 hour for secondary time controls ( FIDE clock option #8 ). The GK2100 played an impressively all-round game like a mid-expert or better. It seems to play about 4 lines in every opening even a gambit like the Budapest. I couldn't play a prepared variation because it wouldn't let me. I finally won a game at 40/2 stopping the computer in a White side of a Closed Sicilian in 16 moves. I think that if IM Ken Smith was alive today he would like GM Lev Alburt recommend the Saitek GK2100 for training and playing sessions. I hope that this answer your and others questions about the 18-1 run made by the computer. yours truly, Frank
