Seeing as I am still using an abacus as a computer, I would need to see your mating line to be able to manually check it and understand it. Feel free to post it and I will endeavor to refute it.

I'm still trying to find the win after 25.Rf1 Rc7 intending Re7 and I don't see how white makes progress.

Hmmm i wonder if i should buy this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/SIGNED-1ST-RARE-Bobby-Fischer-Teaches-Chess-HB-1966-/230517617900 Would make for a great tale Well My Boy..Many Years Ago Bobby And I Were...Regards Steve Highly dubious.

Certainly, the era of dedicated chess machines burned brightly for just a few years and then died out in favour of chess playing software. I just find that really sad.

i cant for the life of me explain that world record price of $2700 Come on Steve, you know how shill bidding works. The person who won that auction was the same person who put it up for sale.

This thread caused me to get the only two computers I own out of the basement: Boris vs CC7. A testament to their quality that they still work after 37 years! I'd never used the Boris before so I had to laugh when, in response to CC7's opening move of 1. d4 Boris replied: I didn't see that coming......

When is this Paris 2012 tournament being played, Steve?

Shipping Extra Regards Steve No, no... the shipping is free. Insurance on the shipping is $5k. uninsured regards, Larry PS The buy-it-now price is only an extra $50k.
