Hi Dick

Yes this was an excellent function on the Polgar as well as the Mephisto RISC.
It is a pity that you can only play at game in 30 or 40/2hr. Other time controls
would have been nice. Now I found the play to be pretty accurate although I do
play worse against a computer than a human opponent (must be pride or
something!). My rating is about 1600elo against human opposition and I could
beat the Polgar set at 1400. However I never beat the RISC at 1700elo, which I
should have thought I could have at least managed a draw with. Still as I say I
play worse against computer opponents and that is my excuse and I am sticking to
it!

Best

Clive
