Well done my friend. I actually looked for that Scorpio during last week's Parr expedition. Could not find it anywhere. Not even behind the biscuit packets in the kitchen :x

Parr Abyss Regards

Hi Steve,

I would be extremely interested to know anything about this. I know that some - including myself of course - have been a little "put off" by the hardware and software issues in the original DTTC, since it makes it very difficult to use the machine in classical time control tournaments without major compromises. If there was some improved version on the horizon, this would really be excellent news.

Possibly Excited Regards


Jonathan
hi Jon
i am happy to report that indeed the DTTC has been revised and will carry a new model number

in addition it will have a backlit screen,500 chess positions for solving and a multi-lingual voice feature amongst other changes

i have a photo of it that i am not permitted to disclose publicly
privately is a different matter all together(for a small fee of course)

:wink:

also i have it on the same authority that the Talking Robot..now renamed the Phantom Force...will begin production within 30 days


Time For You To Get Excited Regards

As an owner of deluxe touch etc I demand some extra knowledge about the replacement unit you already have from the hands of Nelson I guess.
Money of the fee on the way.

Tell me about thinking in adversary time, engine and things like that regards
