RadioShack MASTER Chess computer

[scandien]

Hello,

It is quite difficult to find information about RS computer . Are those machine clone or related to GK2000 or GK2100 ?

RS CHESS MASTER
RS 2250XL
RS MASTER 2200X

And if yes , is there enough difference with their relative to be of interest for a player ? (other playing style, more active, more solid , more aggressive , better in endgame, ...)

Greetings Nicolas:

Back in the year 2K, I purchased these 3 machines to determine which would be best suited to take along while travelling on vacation. After playing a series of SD 60 games with each machine, I was more impressed by the play of the RS Master Chess unit, though none of these machines have a decent sized opening book in my opinion, and also none have any type of endgames enhancement (hash table, position database, etc.).

Vonderlasa played some test games with this machine, and Nick of Spacious Mind has managed to locate the detailed parts list, which helped to unshroud some of the mystery here:

Thanks Steve ,
This is not so easy because i am searching information rather about the RS Chess Master ( i can find information on the others machine more easily , specially on wiki),and it seems that the chess master is quite rarer ....

Sometime tests indicates this is a GK2000 clone , others tests a GK2100, and John link indicate relation with Milano Pro ....

As i just get this machine, i will do my own test

The Radio Shack Master Chess is closely related to GK2000.

I run the Khmelnitsky test and both machine give the same answer in each position. The only difference concerns the Chess Master evaluation wich seems to be slightly better. Their playing profile are nearly the same), and differs really from Centurion style.

Then make the Master Chess replay 8 games , plaid by the Turbo Advanced Trainer ( a known GK2000 clone) 209 move were replay and the overall number of different move is 18 => 8.61% of differences. in three game the difference is greater than 10% .

I have check with Stockfish and the Radio Shack Master Chess moves seems to be slightly better than Turbo Advanced Trainer's ones.
