Hello Larry, I know the two machines were released two years apart, and there is a not negligible difference in playing strength between them. But they seem to look the same. Is there a different model number on the back, perhaps? If my Turbo King 2 runs on AC and without batteries inserted, every 1...

Hi Steve, congrats for your win in this very high appreciated tournament of Saints 2010! Now you finally made it! :wink: Hans drew my attention onto it with a posting in .info and Ismenios forum... the truth is i was very seriously thinking of competing in person next year that is,until Christian to...

I have double checked I have downloaded the right MP file (not the SP one) and that the parameters are set for 2 cores but it seems I'm only getting it on one core? If you look at the CPU load (system performance(?))) in task manager it simply should show 100% in both cores with a MP engine... Robert

Hi Axel i think they are probably not the same exact computers if you look at the first one..there is a small chip in ...

I test it then against the citrine in a 6 match game in the same 5 sec avarage time level. The match ended 3 to 3 but then reading the mephisto manual it played...

It does not sound to me as a capable 1850 Elo program as they say it is.... even if 1850 = capable player. With 4k perhaps you get a good orange crusher.... Dunno understand why they does not put good programs to these toys regards Fernando Maybe that's exactly the reason: Novag sees it as a toy?.....

you can see from the solve times i let each engine run for 5 full minutes only Deep Sjeng could find the move in 5 minutes( actually 111 seconds) Interesting, that just the weakest of all Res/Rev engines found it! I wonder, if Deep Sjeng knew, what it was doing?... positive eval? regards, Robert
