Re: Spacious Mind rating test reloaded
Thank you Eric for the extensive work you have shared. I remember testing most of my computers after Spacious Mind introduced and shared with us his testing program. Lots of fun, and I still reference the results recorded on the long list (Excel) he created of just about every chess computer ever ma...

Re: Big, Old Mephisto Computer
Hi Matt - while I am not an expert on ESB6000s, here are a couple of answers to a few of your questions: careful use of baking soda and an old tooth brush can be used to remove the battery acid residue. Yes, you can look on your local eBay and occasionally find a replacement briquette. I think Mephi...

Re: Saitek Kasparov Brute Force
Hi Josef - thank you for the interesting series of games with the Saitek Brute Force module. Well, it is a strong module for Saitek's beautiful large wooden boards. I hope to find a Sparc module someday, but maybe it is not much stronger than the Brute Force module. I may be in Prague during early J...

Re: Mephisto Munchen on my Desk!
Glad you found some space for your Munchen board. Certainly large boards do present a space problem on the desk...but it is such a luxury to play on a beautiful large wooden board like yours. The 32 bit modules are really strong competitors - a draw feels like a win for me. :lol: Dave Ps: Happy bela...

Re: 10 game match between TheKing personalities
Hi Ray, Very interesting 10 game match. SpaciousMind stimulated a lot of interest in his creation of various personalities with the adjustments he made to the King's settings. From your testing it appears the Normal King settings is still among the strongest options. I wonder if the software updates...

Re: Elite AvantGard (EAG)
Hi Oswald,
You appear to have cornered the market on Fidelity EAGs! Do I see pictures of a version 3, a version 9 and the version 10 (UK Steve)?
Excellent collection... so far.
Best,
Dave

Re: Steve UK
Three or four years ago when I exchanged a few emails with Steve UK, he was suffering from arthritis and mentioned that he may stop making chess computers, creating upgraded boards and doing repairs. However, he sold a few more units, such as V11s and modified ESB boards, after that series of emails...

R30
Yes, this sale is rather suspicious. If the R30 and board are working it will sell for a lot more than a 1,000 euros. Why would the seller not show a picture of it turned on and displaying the version info?
Beware...regards,
