It's a deep dark plot to distract you, involves Ninjas, and concludes with tunneling into the subterranian vault where you store all your computers.

Hello Steve,
Thank you for the info. Seems to be the machine I have. The tag on the back reads delux table chess 60-2201(Radio Shack 23-551)

Schach-computer site rate the RS 1850 at1440 elo. The 1850 playing white,has just dfrawn a 15 sec/move game against the Fidelity designer 2000 rated 1760 . The result a draw. I know, I know...one game but I expected a loss.

I did not keep the game but is was up & down fight to the end.
Very entertaining.
