Hammacher Schlemmer Chess Computer

You can't buy it even if you want to as it is sold out, but what is it? Maybe it is ignorance, but i've never heard of this one before?

What is the engine etc....?

Does anyone here have one?

Any ideas?

Ahhh...thanks. We do that.

Just wondering if it was something we could support. I suppose you can buy a Vauxhall Nova and/or an Opel Cadet....same thing different name.

Don't mind me....ignorance is bliss.

:D

Head in the sand regards

I know Arena supports the Citrine and the DGT board and XL clock
from what i remember Arena even can manage to get the position Eval to show on the XL clock
the Resurrection/Revelation computers are also supported i believe

are there other dedicated computers you guys support?
not many of them have PC connection ports
many of the Novags do though

In The dedicated/PC Arena Regards

There was a Russian board we were asked about but it does not seem to be around anymore. They also don't answer.....we think they are dead, maybe you know the one of which I speak?

We are up for any Chess Computer that has a com port or usb.

The more the merrier.

Compatible dedicated regards
