Thanks Fern Regards,

Fern is such a kind soul! :lol:

No you can't. The Citrine uses the relatively primitive onboard CPU and not the quad or octal CPU made by Intel and others. The Citrine has a 2300 rating and Rybka is approaching 3000. The Citrine only plugs into the PC for the purpose of recording moves and games.

I know of no wi-fi wood chess board on the market.

It would be possible to have a WiFi wood board that interfaces with a quad or higher central computer over a distance of 50 ft. or through a fast internet connection. This would probably be easy to do for less than $500.00 if we left the OLED display off.

Rybka 5 Wi-Fi Woodie Edition
You can buy that now. Purchase a Novag Citrine and connect it to
a PC via the USB port. Also, one can use wireless USB to connect
the two. There are videos of this setup on YouTube .
Correct Charles
in fact Mike B(legendary hall of fame moderator of the CCC )was one of the first to show how to connect the Citrine to Arena wirelessly
a search of his posts here will show the thread
he even included a home made video where he takes the Citrine on a tour of his house and sits down in a different room away from the PC and plays against Rybka(might have been some other PC engine)
Le Citrine when connected to Arena(instructions are provided on Novags web site) can play at the speed of your PC using any Engine that can be run in Arena

of course as a hardcore dedicated chess computer collector i am not even allowed to attempt this

XXX Hardcore Regards

Rigg it up Steve. I can test anything. :) As i am hardcore on all
chess. Sent it to me and charge it to Fern. :)

open 30 hours a day.

You do realize Gerold that Fern is a writer and all writers are with limited financial capasities....
