Sir Clive, >After all any dedicated m/c playing at Tasc strength or higher will beat >most of us without even taxing its processor its very true! i certainly can be waxed pretty good by anything rated over 2000 > How about being able to purchase dedicated units not to increase strength but >play like a certain player. Maybe a Spasky or Fischer unit. Research into >opening books could be taken from games they played rather than the best >tournament positions. As well as giving all of us a good game of chess we could >still test old masters against each other. I think that getting dedicated units >to play in the style of old GMs rather than trying to match their strength would >be an exciting way to go. excellent and imaginitve and exciting as you have said works for me and you have my vote! lets face it Clive the last real program for a dedicated unit to be released was the Senator/Magellan modules in 1998! this new offering will have some novel ideas aside from just the strength(which as you have pointed out ,is far above what most of us need for a good game) the program will be updateable through your pc via the internet and it will contain more then one chess program. so little has come down the raod for the dedicated market that at this point most of us are hungry for anything new i know thats how i feel anyway Best Steve >I know some PC programs try to do this but it is more of a gimmick than a real >representation. > >Clive
