I am an user of Saitek Travel Champion 2100 and Novag Sapphire II (both portable chess computers). In fact, in my experiences, the saitek model doesnt have a good end game performance. Sapphire II thanks its 128Kram for hash tables, is very powerfull at the end game. But you must keep in mind about the middle game/style as well. Let me tell you: I play only rapid chess (no more than 30minutes/game). My standard rating at ICC is around 2200. I think is easier to play against Sapphire than TC. The estimated 2150 Sapphire II elo is just for long games. In my 7 games match between both, the score was TC 4.5 / Sapphire 2.5. The PGN are available. Just ask me. PS. TC programs made by Frans Morsch. Sapphire program based on WCHESS (Dave Kittinger)
