well i wouldnt say the differences are very substantialadams161 wrote:Are there substantial differences between teh emerald classic and the emerald classic plus ( ak karpov 2294). I noticed in 97 when i bought the emerald classic that the ratings appaered to be almost identical with the emerald classic being marketed at 2290 and the look of the machines similar. At the time i bought it there were 3 computers around the 2200s. i think they were the diamond and saphire ( one was a board the other maybe a hand held) and they were like 2240. the emerald classic seemed to be the upgrade at 2290. and then the karpov 2294 came along some months later. Emerald Classic plus i never heard of.

as far as i know the Plus had a different book and was rated about 20 Elo higher then the Classic and was released a year later
Cosmetically the two looked exactly the Same(except for the PLUS lettering)
