Inventer of the Rev II are Ruud and DGT. There is a lot of DGT stuff inside the Rev II. If you buy a Rev II at Ruud, then Ruud has to buy it like a reseller at DGT. He can change something like the name and the serial but you must know that the Rev II can not be financed solely by sales from Ruud. There are some traders who have sold more Revelation II than Ruud in recent years. These are just as important as Ruud.

nope
Ruud Invents the Rev I without DGT
he partners with DGT for piece recognition in Rev II
Graham Bell invents the telephone and others improve upon it and help him sell it
Bell is still the inventor of the phone


in fact Ruud is to be acknowledged and credited for the resurgence of interest in dedicated chess computers with his release of the Resurrection in 2005
before the release of this computer there was nothing of interest released for years
Millennium was selling crappy computers ...DGT nothing..
Novag nothing..Saitek nothing..Mephisto dead-Fidelity Dead

Of course you have a right to a wrong opinion. It is not my job to convince you otherwise.

Thank you Ruud for the prgramming! Thank You DGT, for your hardware and your worldwide network of traders. Thank You Traders, for all the advertising in magazines, internet, and so on.

You are all part of the success of the Revelation II.

Just take the message of this video. For example Belgium, Netherlands, Germany.... Alone we're alone! Together > we're not alone.

The sucsess of the Revelation II is based on many people working hand in hand together!

It is significant that I have to explain the message of this video to you.

actually I found the singing and acting in the video too painful(aweful) too watch all the way through
personally I think its best if you state your opinion here in your own words and not rely on music video links to speak for you

MTV Regards

@Benny, Steve is correct here. We are not talking about how and whom participated to a product success. We are talking about the "inventor".

Actually, a lot of people have invented products and most of them were a failure. Success or failure does not matter as an "inventor" stand point.
Graham Bell invents the telephone and others improve upon it and help him sell it
Bell is still the inventor of the phone
It seems that it is not totally clear:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention ... evelopment

"The first telephone was invented by Antonio Meucci, but Alexander Graham Bell is credited with the development of the first practical telephone."
in fact Ruud is to be acknowledged and credited for the resurgence of
interest in dedicated chess computers with his release of the Resurrection in 2005
Yes definitively.

Thank you Ruud Regards,

Fabrice

LoL. But you like your phone so much that you can forgive him, right ?

It's a bit sad that Meucci and the others are forgotten in that big story.

I guess it all depends on where you draw the line to define what is exactly a telephone.

Honestly, I would have said the same, probably Bell, but decided to look at that Wikipedia page and I had an interesting read.

Sorry, but Steve is not correct. DGT did a little bit more than just the piece recognition for the Rev II. We're all thankful to Ruud for all the emulations, but to say that DGT only did the piece recognition is pretty wrong.

Sorry Benny but I thnk you still don't get it. We are NOT saying that DGT involment into the Rev II was inexistent.

We are saying that the "Revelation" has been dreamed and invented by Ruud and then DGT worked with him to perfect it and deploy it.

That is a bit different Regards,

Fabrice
