I believe it was >advertised with a 2200 Elo and I suspect one should apply the usual >post-marketing descaling adjustment. Excalibur claimed 2200 USCF which would be about 2000-2050 Elo however some testing in Europe has taken place and it is more like 1850 Elo i have the computer and i think it plays much stronger against humans then against other computers but this is just from casual playing and not a scientific "SSDF like" study > >For what it's worth, I think that Excalibur has a good idea here: the first >relatively inexpensive dedicated unit with full size board and pieces. Perhaps >the strength of dedicated models that have small boards and poorly designed >pieces is due in part to their esthetic distance from usual tounament equipment. i agree i happen to also like the realistic tournament board and pieces same exact heavy plastic pieces also used in weekend round robins and tournaments some of these GM'S are selling for just barely over $100 ON Ebay these days Steve
