Steffen,

I can make 20:00 Sunday, that's 21:00 your time?


Cheers,

Wonderful, Al, that suits.
One hour later would suit even better :)

Round 6 Game 5 Revelation II London v 68030 London

White had a slight edge in the opening but then played the weird move in 23. Nf3 where Re1 looks much stronger. The Rev2 lost its way and a pawn and then struggled through to a R & P ending a pawn down and managed to swap off leaving R & RP v R and scraped a draw.

Cheers,

Al.

Millennium Chess Genius EXCLUSIVE - Saitek RISC 2500: 1-0

The MCG EXCLUSIVE played a crazy, but correct opening. After winning a pawn they played a rooks endgame. But the RISC 2500 underestimated White´s opportunities when opening the position. So the MCG EXCLUSIVE won his first official game ever.

I still have to learn how to embed the game including the board...

No, Steve, the MCGE has not yet been released here neither.
I play with a testing machine directly from Millennium.

Before the 1st fiddle regards,

I like:

In my opinion
Easy to handle and easy to understand separate computer unit
Very well readable
Piece recognition
Beautiful wooden pieces (with an extra queen for each side)
Option to change the speed

Straight after writing I had already thought it might be misunderstanding what I had written (but I could not add this information because after a citation one cannot edit postings here):
No, it is a serial model, but they have not yet been sold or officially released here.
