Inspired by Fernando's Saitek Risc 2500 defeating a Chess Prog running on a Modern day PC (and thereby forever settling the question that the old dedicated computers are stronger then all PC progs even running on Screaming modern day Pc's),i elected to try the Risc 2500 against the Resurrection the normal Risc 2500 uses a Arm 2 processor running at 14 Mhz with 128k of hash table ram Saitek provided upgrades up to 2Mb for the hash table and this Risc 2500 has the full 2MB as is well known the Risc 2500 is one of only four dedicated computers outfitted with Johan de Koning's King program the other three being the Mephisto Montreux and the Tasc R30 and R40 the 128k Risc 2500 was rated just under 2200 Elo so perhaps the 2MB is 25-50 Elo stronger in certain endgame positions as usual the time control is Game 30 Minutes noteworthy in this game was the Res's Trademark of "several Deep thinks" and yet another Knight developing move to A3(move 17) this makes 3 times the Res developed its Queens Knight to A3 out of the 9 games i posted..
