Hi Steve, Probably the updated version of Boris Handroid because : The name is CHESS 2.5 (i.e. not BORIS and not SARGON). Underneath I think I read (Applied) Concepts INC. Kings are not the same (big cross on the king of CHESS 2.5). The top right key is CE. Cordialy. PS : bad news : it seems that ht...

Hi again,

We can evaluate how many times the pondering effect is correct : By using "Conseil" key, L'Empereur give you which move is the better (no, it is not a false response, L'Empereur doesn't cheat or lie ).

Hi Paulwise3, The Novag computer is a Savant, not a Savant II ("Savant I" to differentiate it from the "Savant II" used by Steve). I agree with you that pondering is difficult to quantify. However, if the move considered by The Emperor is the move played by Savant, 150% to 300% o...

Hi Steve, The revenge of L'Empereur : Novag Savant was at level 3, 45 to 90 seconds per move, without pondering (impossible to activate ;-)). L'Empereur was at level 4, 30 seconds per move, with pondering (impossible to deactivate). 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e5 c5 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 Qc7 7. Nf...

Hello, I asked Chris Bray about the programmer of Triomphe, Yeno 301XL because I found : "...He has been playing backgammon for forty years after moving to the game from chess and bridge in the late 1970s." His answer : >> Sorry, my area of expertise is backgammon not chess. >> Kind Regard...

Hello Andy_J,

Without knowing it, I have overclocked your Turbo King by one million with a Mitsubishi M5M5165P-12L (12L for access time of 120 nanoseconds, ie 120/1000000000 seconds).

Hello, I tried with my 2robot (1/2 hour). I can't disabled the arm, but my 2robot have a ErrArm when it catches the piece : blocked to try the "magic sequence" of keys. I hope the arm doesn't have to work properly to deactivate it. I can play without arm with level NH8 (Ref), and use the &...

Hello Steve, To make sure this "faux pas" doesn't happen to others, you have created Steve B's golden rule for the collector: "NEVER Close A hole In the collection by opening up another hole" ! ( https://hiarcs.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9373&p=91898&hilit=empereu...

Bonjour, Si les diodes clignotent, c'est que beaucoup de choses fonctionnent encore. La carte électronique est simple. Vous pouvez déjà faire quelques tests vous même avec un multimètre (15 €). En premier lieu un petit nettoyage à la brosse à dent (sans dentifrice ;-) , puis nouvel essai (qui sait ?...
