can you give me an example?..im curious Hi Steve Mainly just little things, now and then over the years, often to do with claimed specifications / programmers / ratings for relatively obscure machines, which I've known to have either been not quite right or even wildly wrong. One small example and ...

can you give me an example?..im curious Hi Steve One of the best "Plain English" articles with spot-on conclusions that's applicable to virtually any kind of hash-table equipped chess playing computer is here: http://en.chessbase.com/post/not-the-last-word-on-hash-tables There are also so...

LOL you seem to know more than other programmers knew in the past and present. I respectfully disagree with you but of course you are entitled entitled to your opinion as am I. How many 24/7 national data centres were you responsible for over 10 years as a systems manager and technical consultant t...

I still think additional Hash would help it, how can it possibly hurt it. I mean there are absolutely no scenarios under which it could be worse Sometimes I see things stated here that are plain wrong and let them pass, but this is something that needs stamping on the head. You can't simply keep sh...

The Stronger Novag's were always quite the gentlemen in that they knew how to properly Resign with an announcement in the display as a rule of thumb..if a computer cannot bring itself to admit defeat and resign ....then when its Eval hits -9.99 i call it a day and remove the computer from my desk a...

as the MCG has no "Resign" feature I wish more Schachcomputer models had resign capabilities - and I don't mean the option in certain Fidelity models to "resign" only when there's a forced mate. I mean real resignation - as taught to us by our forefathers and to be passed on to ...

continuing with my meaningless and immaterial observations Speaking about the plastic trays that hold the pieces and batteries ...i notice two empty pockets for what looks like the adapter and the different connections my guess is that Millennium originally planned to ship the unit with the adapter...
