Go up one level in this thread




>Hi Martin

>an interesting game, very well done. I've played the Avant Garde v9 a couple of
>days ago too (by chance the same level, 10min/game).

also  your game was a very nice win for humankind!
i see you wanted to play the English but V9 has different ideas
:)


>What do you think of the v11 Avant Garde - is it still a true ole' chess computer (do you have one?).

a good question and of course the subject of a mild debate on Kurt's site
no i do not have the V11
even though the well respected Mr. Bucke made the V11, in my opinion it is not a
Factory Authorized version by Fidelity and for me it is not a collectable
computer
i will only have in my collection ,computers that were officially made by the
company that manufactured it and released it for sale to the general public
i also have no interest in collecting "tuned" or "over clocked" devices for this
same reason

i realise other collectors feel differently about this issue but i only can
answer for my personal taste in collecting

and thank you again for your help with the translation of my posting!
Best Regards
Steve
