[Charles Roberson]

My son was getting a little cocky about his chess skill, so I taunted him with "You can't even beat my prettiest computer on it's lowest level". He took the bait and played the Fidelity Elite A/S Challenger Budapest on level A1 (5 sec per move) with pondering off.

I thought I was going to eat crow for a while. He is winning the middlegame, but misses winning tactics at moves 17 and 22. The game took about 45 minutes, so he had a time advantage.

Thanks Steve B! We love this machine. Is there something this good looking to connect to my PC's? The Citrine works and is nice, but it doesn't look as good as the Budapest. Also, I don't think the DGT boards look as good as the Budapest.
