Information wanted about the Excalibur Stiletto iii

Post by appleshampogal »

I just found it for 10 bucks, so I grabbed it online. I couldn't find much on wiki about how it plays in comparison to another comp I have in the same grade, the Chessman Pro 2 by Pavillion (Lexibook). I saw a grandmaster on YouTube (Jon Bartholomew) play against his Excalibur Explorer Deluxe and was pretty entertained. I saw the Stiletto III and mistook it for the one in the YT video so I got it. I've been able to sus out how strong it is according to spacious mind, but not so much its characteristics and that would be interesting to know.

Also, if there is a resource to find the manual that would be awesome too!

Thank you for mentioning this about it being a clone. Are there any resources that describe how its programmed and what style it plays in? Just curious.

I do have the Stiletto II and have scanned the manual.

However the file size limit is too small for me to upload it here.
