thats the Auditor in you looking to find out everything that is being hidden
from you

there is no low level chess computer when it comes to enjoying the hobby
each computer is a work of art with the program "frozen in time"
while of course some are inexpensive that does not mean it cannot be plucked and
prodded and brought to work under the cover of darkness as a "calculator
in fact Saitek made a small chess computer that does double as a real calculator
came with tiny pieces kept in a sliding drawer

they appear on Ebay quite often and are very low cost
