Hi all, Would a touch screen display be a very desirable feature? Regards from Portoroz, Ossi Weiner Hi, Ossi, a touch screen would be contemporary and desirable. With the Revelation II (AE) I have often longed for the menu navigation via a touch screen. Ossi, you're not going to work with Richard ...

Hi Egbert now that would be a great improvement its a shame for me actually the emulation packages in the Phoenix systems are very expensive add-ons and i dont even use them much due to the painful operation of the keyboard with a touch screen or the very easy to operate menu navigation of the Mill...

From Ruuds web page: “It is almost like the chess game of the 21st century, in which 40 years of chess computer tradition from Munich interweave with the future in online gaming as if by magic”, says Thomas Karkosch, COO of MILLENNIUM. Online chess games hold no interest for me if the focus of the ...

Hi, Ossi, I am very pleased about this cooperation. Now what belongs together can grow together. On the one hand the brilliant developer Ruud, with his extreme competence in the implementation of emulations of old chess computer programs and Millenium with the expertise of many decades in the field ...

Hello, Henk, unfortunately no, not a word at the moment. Some years ago Mark had already written that his development version would play much stronger than Hiarc's 14.1. The more disappointing is that there is no current valid information. The Hiarcs fan community is not interested in getting a sec...

Hello Mark, hello Harvey especially in times of Corona I would be very happy about the update to Hiarcs 15. Are there any current news about this? I love the playing style of Hiarcs and have played numerous comparisons with reduced speed against the chess computer elite of earlier days. I would be ...

yes, for example a Sparc + element for the ChessGenius Exclusive :) Best regards Egbert Egbert - that is a great idea and would really be a fine program addition to Millennium's Exclusive board system. Running at 300 MHz on their RISC processor....maybe with a few additional programming refinements...

Ruud told me that also the display of this emulation shows the MIPS, not the MHz. And according to his video this is about 90. Have you ever tried to find out by which factor the emulation is faster than with the original device? The original device with 6 MHz (1982 version) had about 0.87 MIPS. Bu...

Hello, Mark, I'm a big fan of Hiarcs Engine. On the Phoenix Chess Revelation II I played many tournament games with reduced speed with the Hiarcs 14.1 engine against other chess computers (on www.schachcomputer.info). Especially the intelligent, dynamic approach, with extensive knowledge, is met wit...

@Paul: That's the right approach, thanks :-) @Steve: Great that you still have a working Savant II. The program itself is identical to the Novag Robot Adversary. The different solution times for the emulation on the Revelation II can be used to check how fast the Emu runs in comparison. Thank you v...

Ah, okay, Steve... I get it. No problem, I'll figure it out somehow. Nevertheless, thank you very much for your effort.

Friendly greetings
Egbert

Hello, Steve, thank you very much for your kind words. It is a special privilege to own a working original Novag Robot Adversary :-) Probably you can only measure the speed advantage reliably, if you compare a position with the original device on the one hand and with the emulation on the other hand...
