Steve,
I don't have this machine so I am making some assumsions
but It would have to be the Mephisto Vancouver 32 bit
with the Bavaria board.
Why? The board is tournament size, made of wood and
recognizes automatically which piece is on what square.
Must be a dream to set-up a position.
Secondly the Vancouver program has so many parameters
that can be varied/adjusted it is possible to infinitely
change it's style of play.
Six different opening books.Each book has tournament &
random setting.Plus a programable opening library!
And just too many features to mention.
If there are other dedicated machines out there more
feature rich than the Vancouver I would be interested
to hear about it.
