When a 3700 elo program crushes a 3300 elo one
Quite impressive and speechless how Stockfish v15 has improved since v8 (about 5y): https://youtu.be/0w7AcgGAPss v8 was the version who played against AlphaZero, an official rematch would be interesting I guess. Some folks claims they did a match with a similar to AlphaZero program: https://www.yout...

Re: New Mephisto Phoenix chess computer
It's a shame that some people can't take critical questions and just run away. Hey TomFurga, stop using Sascha as your target, right? Your last post is quite not acceptable and not in the spirit of this forum. I kind of agree with him that your post was a bit "punchy" and provocative ... ...

Re: New Mephisto Phoenix chess computer
Very interesting and happy to see the the "TASC way" is coming back !! Thank you Sascha for sharing :-) The photos look cool ;-) The front face seems cool but in that photo the texts are not centered in the Buttons ? Seems awkward to me. I am just hoping the connection cable between the un...

Re: Millennium Supreme Tournament 55
I agree that, from the YouTube video, the grain on the black squares (and to some extent for the white ones too) looks absolutely awful. How can you have those top-down stripes ?!? That is blowing up my mind. I own a first generation DGT board (USB) and a Rev-II and I agree that DGT is just "mi...

Re: New Phantom
Ahahah, also if you go down the Kickstarter page there is a video showing a piece moving in circle on a prototype board and ... it seems quite noisy. Also you can hear people playing ping-pong in the background. Very "startupy". LoL. Garage regards, Fabrice I fear that the mechanism is fra...

Re: New Phantom
I fear that the mechanism is fragile and it is a pity that it is too slow to play in Blitz, which takes a lot of interest. Indeed, looking at the Kickstarter video the mechanism seems quite slow, fragile and noisy. Having two (long) arms with a rotating center for mowing the pieces will lead to str...

Re: R30
Dave, it depends. I have seen a few week ago a R30 sold for about 1000EUR https://www.ebay.de/itm/Tasc-R30-mit-Smartboard-SB30-Schachcomputer-/203312623293 so the good old days of the expensive TASCs are I think a bit over. Probably because people understand that their electronic has a strong probab...

Hello Larry, Yes I have seen it too and it is listed in France. The real listing was https://www.ebay.fr/itm/203446966874 I could contact the seller and this is no good. He seems a real jerk. I asked him to give me more infos on the machine and the cost of shipping to the US and I got a very evasive...
