There's is no doubt about it that "Star Diamond" not play many ELO better with 20 MHz compare to Novag Diamond II. OK, the processor is faster. After my first information is the new Diamond maybe 30-40 ELO stronger (and this is great in my opinion). I will later play a match: Mephisto Atlanta - Star Diamond with tournament rules. Maybe the Star Diamond have the same playing level (2.150 ELO) compare to Atlanta. The design from Novag table computer are great and also all the nice options. I am since years a big Novag fan ... If you have more information please write ... ... 15 years later I believe I come back (table computer chess) ... :-)) Best Frank
