Did you check the pictures? Then you could see, that the upper parts of the first two letters were cut off and it should read as "Roma II"...

Ah yes. The Ruma II. Well I don't have to ask about that one. I know it well. It was an extemely rare Mephisto module dseigned to compete in a little known but extremely strong computer chess tournament held at Ruma in Vojvonida, Serbia. Apparently the Ruma I had some evaluation bugs that cropped up in certain endgame positions and was not released to market.

I imagine that not even Steve has this little beauty.

In the know Regards

And there was another one from the same programmer, the rather unknown "Koma II" module!

It is said, that all opponents were falling asleep, when playing against it, because of its boring playing style! :lol:


this should cost megabucks regards,
