At the end (1989) it was an equal match. It have a failure now so I can't test if I've been any better. I have some low end computers I now and then play a blindfoldet game against. Especially another one from Newcrest. I don't see any other name on it but a date code of 0890. I'm not a collector so boxes and manuals go into the tray the first day. The nice thing with this is that you only need your index finger to play a game blindfoldet against it. I have two 'mini' computers (Saitek Kasparov Electronic Chessman and Mephisto mini) that I too play blindfold against. Here the pieces have to be stuck into the board so I have keept a pawn so I can play against them. > 4) You are not a chess player...............Alain Just a few year after I joined the chessclub I was put into the administrative side. It held back some of my own ambitions but I try to get at least one real game each week, preferable in the club. Odd Gunnar
