Any dedicated chess computer named after a Bible...

I can then only assume that it has a Prayer feature instead of a Brute Force feature.

Trash Talking Regards

Diamond II trainer/owner - Robert Conrad :P

The Bible will probably give you a Pawn odds :)

After you crush Steve B's Tasc computer (which we all know will happen) then we can talk. :P

I might turn the "star studded" Diamond loose on ya however.
He trains in the same gym.

We'll see...

Crushing is not likely. I expect that the two Tasc's will end up having an extremely close match. Could go either way.

Diamond II gets white.

1. e4 - - - Gideon plays h6
2. DII's choice then - - - Gideon plays a6

Gideon plays the Crab Defense on its first two moves.

Another option...

This tournament is now over with!

Steve B. says it has no validity because all the games are not being posted.
He has a point because I pulled a lot of plugs as soon as some computers lost a piece.
I did learn a lot as to which computers are strongest at 3 min. avg. response.
They all have their very own personality.

I have a new tournament coming up in a month or so.
It will include my 21 strongest computers. (everyone plays 20 matches)
All games will be posted for everyone to see.
T/C will again be 3 min. avg. response.
It will be a round robin tournament.
First computer to 2 points wins the match. draws = .5

There will be 4 new computers in this tournament that I have recently acquired.
One of them is rated slightly higher than Star Diamond, which I'm happy to say. :D
These 4 computers will make this new tournament very interesting! :D

I was only joking with you LW

I think its highly entertaining and I even posted that I thought it was
