This is a Dedicated Unit forum....!!!

Post by Fernando »

I have realized that here almost every post has to do with dedicated units. Hiarcs scarcely appears discussed. Much less others programs. I see in this the poisonous breath of Blincoe...

No, no, happy to see that somewhere in the world you can talk about these machines. Happy to see some new members with ¡high Elo telling us histories about his victories and experiences.

All this said, Now I am going to try again to defeat Chess Challenger 7 in level 1.

I read Steve's post and immediately thought of the Chief of Police in Casablanca......

Rick... "How can you close me down?"
Chief....."I am shocked, shocked to find out there is gambling here"
Roulette dealer to Chief..... "Your winnings Sir"
Chief of Police .... pockets money ... "Thank you"


Classic movie regards,
Arlie

The other guy left 10 minutes ago after delivering my Munchen in full conditions, etc...
I talked him about you, but he refused to hear much. He already knew, he said to me, you pay poorly to anyone working for you.
After that I payed him his bill: 12 bucks and a hamburger.

Generous regards

What a brutal beating!
BTW, I already have Hiarcs 14 and explorer.
Now that your new gadget has been so mauled, time is to send it to me just in case my technician can improve it.
I will not ask from you money for this favor

Hi Steve,

A fairer challenge would be to let Hiarcs play at 0.1 of a second or 5 ply to give the poor ATC a chance. 1 second per move is still too fast :P

FOR TRADE:

I will trade my 1996 Saitek Kasparov Advanced Talking Chess Computer - 8 MHZ

I got it off EBAY about 2 years ago - and its in mint condition!
Comes with box and manual.
It has the Fidelity Chesster voice.
Like Steve B. said... These are very rare!

Will trade for a Novag Diamond II or Sapphire II only! :wink:

First Come - First Serve to anybody here on the HIARCS Forum.

I know I'm taking it in the shorts with this offer Regards,

Why settle for a Diamond II or Sapphire II, when you can have the extremely RARE Saitek Olympiad which I happen to have in near-new condition.

How Much Can LWSteveo's Shorts Handle Regards,
