Apart from having more features than any other chess computer in
the world, your computer also contains one of the best and most
sofisticated chess programs ever made.
In a typical middlegame position the computer analyses around 500
chess positions per second.
A good chess computer must however also know a lot about
chess. Your computer contains a lot knowledge about piece
development, center control, king attacks, king safety, pawn
structures, center pawns, open rook files etc. etc. It can find and
avoid 50 move rule, eternal check and 3rd repetition, and is one
of the very few chess computers, which can mate with king,
kinght and bishop against king.
If you want to know more about how chess computers work, we
recommend the book ‘Chess Skill in Man arid Machine' edited by
Peter W. Frey. Texts and Monographs in Computer Science.
Springer-Verlag New York 1983 You can also become a member of
one of the computer chess associations around the world (e.g. in
Germany, Netherland and Scandinavia).
We hope you will enjoy playing with your new chess computer.
