Subject: Collector's Corner..The Robot Videos..Emotional Player

Author: Steve B

Date: 03:32:47 12/17/05


Finally as promised, here are the final videos with the Robot showing the
"Emotions" feature

i played a game against it to show this feature which appears in no other chess
computer ever released for sale

i couldnt capture the lights flashing on /off so well  but i think these videos
will give a good flavor as to what goes on in a game against it with the feature
engaged



we pick up the game here with the Robot ready to Castle King Side

PLAYER DISTRACTION

here ..while i am thinking about my move, the Robot realizes it will lose the D
pawn as well as already being down a Knight and tries to distract my train of
thought
