super sensor IV

According to https://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/i ... stellation
the sensor iv aka sensor dynamic is the forefather of the constellation, which is further improved (mainly due to higher clock not algo) so, having a constellation 3.6mhz obviates any need for a sensor iv.

Novag Allegro

Hello i found someone selling a novag allegro, but without adaptor or box, for around 8 euros. After digging around I realized there isn't ANY information on the web on how it plays, how strong it is etc. So if you could please log your experiences with this unknown cc, I'd appreciate it very much. ...

how did you notice the AI was adaptive? In what sense? Does it learn from its mistakes or what

Novag Super Sensor IV

Hi how are your experiences with Novag Super Sensor IV? Some guy in a foul mood is selling it complete with box adapter etc. What would be a good price? As it's from ELO a bit weak and has a poor 2mhz processor, and I'm an even weaker chess player (I even always lost against the conny on tutor level...

why on earth would you want to make a chess computer. And then one that must be strong. Where's the fun in that. At the very least if you wanted you should make a chess computer that is fun to play with, one that has nice quirks and plays intuitively. And before that, try to make a program that actu...

" The buyer however reads and expects the program to get better and better through more and more games and it cannot do this! "

very sure. I see the flowcharts but no idea how to enter them. The overlay is on a separate sheet. But how do I tell the machine I want to enter a library, in other words, how to get the machine from play mode to learn library mode. Perhaps there is a button on it "program" or something th...

Novag Super Constellation Programming

Hi, I just got a Super Constellation. You don't want to know how much it cost me. From reading the manual it seems one can enter openings by some kind of programming. However from the original manual I couldn't find out how to get the conny to actually allow entering openings, does anyone know how t...
