i even owned a compuchess chess computer .while i will agree it was very very
weak .i think level 5 was like 10 hrs a move and 6 was 2 or three days a move
.on those levels it actually played a fair game .i was in the army at the time
and a buddy of mine said he could beat any computer at that time .he lost a case
of soda vs level 5 ,close game but compuwimp as i called it won .
