Manual for the Excalibur Igor computer

Post by vonderlasa »

Does anyone know where I can find one? An online search was futile.

What do you want to know?
The levels are IMO identical with Excalibur mirage on zanchetta chess.
What seems like a fairy tale today may be reality tomorrow.
Here we have a fairy tale of the day after tomorrow....

Igor manual

Post by vonderlasa »

I received Igor today. the levels appear identical to badly the Excalibur grandmaster, and differ from the cosmetically similar Alexandra. So far I am up 3-1, but lost badly as I always do against a c3 sicilian.

1 e4 c5 2 c3, which should probably be renamed the Sveshnikov Attack in honor of its most noted proponent.
