Chess mini is engine app on iPad. Rated at 2000. I’d guess that the Turochamp and Primus engine apps would be of similar strength when given time to compute. The following is the blurb from Chess Mini app. What is Chess Mini? Chess Mini uses the Micro-Max chess engine - the world's smallest engine i...

I found the Fidelity Excellence unpleasant to use. The LEDs are huge and in particular I found the flashing LED on the e1 square very annoying. I used to place a small piece of cardboard over the flasing light which wasn't a very satisfactory solution. I sold my original Excellence years ago and jus...

Novag Agate plus
Played my Novag Agate plus for the first time at 5 sec/move and was appalled by its play. It doesn't develop its pieces properly and then just shuffles them around, moving its rook back and forth from h1 to g1 etc. it is supposed to have a 16K Kiiinger program but I seriously doubt that. Re the Obsi...

I picked up a 711-E2 cheap on eBay a few years back and was disappointed with its strength as I expected the same program as the GM. Nonetheless it still provides an entertaining game. I love the corny metallic voice and sound effects. It's a shame that Excalibur were so vague about the details of t...

Universal Power Pack at 1000 milliamperes.
Recently purchased a Universal Power Pack with 1000ma from the local bargain shop (after looking for one for a few years). I've been reassured by folk in the know that a 1000 milliamps will be okay in units having lower amps specified as they will only draw what amps they actually need. My main worr...

Just recently played my Excalibur Grandmaster for OTB practice and lost to level 6 which is designated the weakest at one ply search, but because of capture extensions it actually goes deeper than one ply. I had the same experience with Mephisto London program set at one ply. Interestingly Novag ma...
