the Chesster is the Par program with the voice chip
it is running at 5 MHZ
the manual does not mention the specs

yes i think so
the box for the Chesster shows the USCF CRA(Rating agency)seal of 2100
so perhaps wherever you have seen this refrence is merely a slight mistake


(>- is the Kishon Chesster the German version of the Chesster Challenger or does
>it have a different hardware (it seems to run at 3.6MHz) ?

to my knowledge it is the same exact program(Par) running at 5 Mhz but the voice
is a German voice whom i am told was a famous tv personality of his day
i think a comedian of some sort


>PS : I have found a German user's manual for the Kishon Chesster on the web but
>it does not contain hardware & software characteristics.

neither does the English manual as i mentioned above

Warm Regards
Steve
