Go up one level in this thread


The hidden secret of the love for old dedicated units is not merely the fact of
being real things, wooden or plastic, but precisely his weaknesses WITHOUT being
you compelled to consciously degrade the engine. You fight the full thing as it
is....and it is 1500, 1700, 1800, etc elo. You win -IF you win at all- the
complete adversary and not a crippled criature.
There are other resons too, but this one I think it is esential.
I have been enjoying a high since two days because I defeated Gramaster by
Excalibur, a more or less 2000 machine. Not to mention my win against Gambit, a
1400 elo machine, wic I defeated with two brilliant sacrifices in a row. That
will keep me in good mood for at least a year.
Give me a dedicated unit to play any day.
Good feeling has a price measured in gold bars.

My best
Fernando
