would probably fit perfectly as do the President's own original pieces
was just trying to find some computer the undersized Citrine pieces would fit
dont recall any other computer which was released with pieces clearly too small for the board

Mismatch Regards

i resigned for the President here
its hopeless

Black wins all 3 games in the match
this reminds me of the old joke about the early dedicated computers
it was actually considered a disadvantage to have the white pieces as the computer with white would be the first to blunder!

Anyway Opal II wins the match 2-1
for all of the money i paid for the President..a result like this tells me its time this President was....

Impeached Regards
Steve
:arrow: Not to worry, the SciSys Turbo King will grant the President a full and unconditional pardon for any chess crimes he may have committed.

I had no compelling reason to play the following game
nothing new would be learned,no new uncovered dark secrets would be added to the rich history of dedicated chess computer lore
i guess i just wanted a relaxing diversion from the all important..nay...life saving.. impossibly pain staking work.. of posting about rare chess computers


i pit the Super Ultra Rare Scisys President against ChessMaster 9000 running on my Quad Core 2.4 Ghz 64 bit i7 Win 8.1 8GB(memory) laptop

Pres was on its tournament level(3 Min./Avg) with Pondering ON
CM9K was allowed 5 Sec per move...Pondering OFF

Pres was in book through move 3
CM9K was in book through move 8

it was a blood bath as expected
by move 24 Pres was down the Bishop Pair for a P
(having hung two pieces due to overlooking a mate in 5 if it recaptured on moves 23 and 24)


[Date "2014.7.27"]
[White "Scisys President"]
[Black "Chessmaster 9000"]
[Result "0-1"]

1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 d4 3.e3 Nc6
4.exd4 Nxd4 5.Nxd4 Qxd4 6.d3 e5 7.Nc3 Ne7 8.Be3 Qd8
9.Be2 Nf5 10.O-O Bd6 11.b4 O-O 12.c5 Be7 13.g3 a5 14.a3 Be6 15.Qd2 Nd4
16.Rab1 Qd7 17.f4 Nxe2+ 18.Qxe2 Rfd8 19.fxe5 Qxd3 20.Rbc1 axb4 21.axb4
Ra3 22.Qe1 Bh3 23.Rf2 Rxc3 24.e6 Qxe3 25.exf7+ Kf8 26.Qxe3 Rxe3 27.Rb1
Bf6 28.Ra2 Bd4 29.Kh1 Be6 30.Rf2 Bd5+ *

FINAL POSITION
[fen]3r1k2/1pp2Ppp/8/2Pb4/1P1b4/4r1P1/5R1P/1R5K w - - 0 31[/fen]

I turned off the President here
its mate in 7

Kicking Back A Bit Regards
Steve

This type of matches are not allow; is a butchery against dedicated chess machines. The high jury council of dedicated chess machines had sentenced that if you keep doing this you must...
