Go up one level in this thread


>>the tasc units play at FIDE GM strenght
>>they are rated 2300-2400 ELO>
>really?

yes really
look here:

>>U r interested more in Dedicated Units because u r a collector.


if you read my post you would see i replied as a CHESS PLAYER..not as a
collector

>u can do that by using DGT board on PC also so why to waste more money on IM
level opponent when u can buy a Super GM level (well tentetively)opponent

again if your read my post
myself and many other chess players find it objectionable to play chess on a PC
with a screen and a mouse
we prefer a real chess board and pieces

> While what Istated was from the point oif view of Chess Player.Tell me how it improved ur chess? Did u play against all units u collected?

my chess is beyond improvement at this stage of my life
i am too old to get better
i am happy that i still remember how to move the Bishop
yes i play against them,early and often
however for younger men/woman then me ,if you are rated less then 2300 Elo then
playing against a higher rated opponent any time of day or night will only
improve your chess

>ok as such my last post was not to offend u but just my opinion so sorry if i
>have hurt u.

i was not hurt
i was simply correcting your erroneous posting

>I beleive in analysing with Chess Programs and not playing against
>them to improve ur game.

well i guess we have a different definiton as to what a chess PLAYER is
to me a chess PLAYER is one who PLAYS a game of CHESS
not that i am in any way saying analysing is not fun or interesting but it is
not the same as playing a game of chess against an opponent
i could not recommend paying $2000 FOR A Tasc computer to analyse a chess
position
your $30 chess program will do that just fine
but i can recommend a Tasc computer to play a very strong game of chess with
