Subject: 2265 Rides Again!!!

Author: Ray Rogers

Date: 14:41:46 03/02/05


After a speculative approach to friend and his soldering iron my Designer 2265
emerged from the operating table alive and well! I almost binned it after being
told that the relevant spare parts hadn't been seen in the civilised world since
the 1990's. Phew!! Anyway. I thought I should put it the test so decided on
Chess Tiger - Tungsten T. Not optimised (my word, I've learned some posh stuff
'ere) for the ARM processor thingy it runs slower on the TT than on my older
Sony SL10!?

If I get this right you may get to see some diagrams even!
So.

2265 stayed in book much longer than Tiger but soon realised it was a pawn down.
By move 21 they both agreed that CT was +400 but I played on until -999 from the
Fidelity.

I'm not a great fan of computer - computer games as they don't seem to flow like
games between humans or human v computer with similar ratings. I think this one
falls into that category. I may replay this with Tiger set to "Anti-Human" or
just reverse colours. I intend a second game anyway.

Even though I love the old dedicated machines I have to say that the Palm
Tungsten with Tiger, Genius and HIARCS installed is a fantastic device.

Thanks for listening and regards from the UK.
Ray.
