Hi Mike, I forgot the password to this forum but in the old emails I luckily found it now again.. :) First of all: congrats to you too for finally getting the ole' Rolls-Royce of the dedicated 'puters! >Which Model? R30 v2.5 with SB 20 and SB 30. >When was it acquired? February 2004 >Are you the original owner? Nope. >How often do you play it? Half time per month. (Well, actually it's more 1-2 times in 2-3 months :) ). >How long do you plan to keep it or how did you keep it? What a question! :) I'd never ever part with it. >Do you have a favorite game played against it or played by the Tasc R30? Ha! My favourite question of your little questionnaire. :)) Actually it's the very first game I played against the machine. Ruud Martin came into my office (I bought the unit from him) and we started checking the functionality of the computer and so I began a little game on the default setting (10s/move) at the same time chatting with Ruud about his Resurrection plans (the name wasn't born yet) and of course also chess computers in general. It won't surprise you that I expected to get filleted (or is gutted the right word? Eh...anyway. You probably got the point...:)) very quickly. But somehow my position got better and better... and my concentration got more and more distracted by the game... so finally... well, see yourself. :) [Event "Blitz:10'""] [Site "MyTown"] [Date "????.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "M.S."] [Black "Tasc R30 v2.5"] [Result "*"] [PlyCount "79"] [TimeControl "?"] 1. Nf3 Nc6 2. d4 d5 3. g3 Bf5 4. Bg2 e6 5. O-O Nf6 6. Bg5 h6 7. Bf4 Bd6 8. Ne5 Bxe5 9. Bxe5 Nxe5 10. dxe5 Nd7 11. f4 c6 12. Nd2 Qb6+ 13. Kh1 Qxb2 14. e4 Bg6 15. f5 exf5 16. exf5 Bh7 17. e6 fxe6 18. Qh5+ Kd8 19. fxe6 Nc5 20. e7+ Kxe7 21. Rae1+ Kd8 22. Qf7 Be4 23. Nxe4 dxe4 24. Rd1+ Nd3 25. cxd3 e3 26. Bh3 Qd4 27. Qxb7 e2 28. Qxa8+ Kc7 29. Rf7+ Kd6 30. Rd7+ Ke5 31. Re1 Qxd7 32. Bxd7 Rxa8 33. Rxe2+ Kd6 34. Bf5 Rd8 35. Kg2 Kc5 36. Kf3 Rd4 37. Rc2+ Kd6 38. Be4 c5 39. Rc4 Rxc4 40. dxc4 1-0 So hey, I even have a very respectable witness for that occurrence. :) Mega Bragging Regards, Martin P.S. Of course after that game the R30 started a cruel long vendetta. But since this forum is not even r-rated, I better don't go into details about that one... ;(
