I am not an expert
player, since my elo is around 1600 or less. Thus, my
interest for chess computers started in the beginning of
1980. I don’t remember what was my first machine, but
probably was one of the fidelity machines. In that time
I had signature of chess life magazine, however was so
hard to get a computer due the conditions of my country.
In that time, we cannot to get international credit card
in Brazil so, only a friend that traveled a lot to USA
would buy a computer. So, this site is a little homage
to all that chess programmers and all the companies that
had invested in the development of the electronic chess.
Below, my games
against my chess computers. Course, I lost the most
games.

How
Fast is My Chess Computer's"Brain"? -
By Larry Kaufman, I.M
When purchasing a chess computer, many
people want to know how fast is its processor (a.k.a. "chip" or
"C.P.U."). Of course this is only one factor in determining
playing strength, along with RAM size, ROM size, and program
quality, but it is a legitimate question. Unfortunately it is
apt to be answered by quoting the Megahertz, which is only a
meaningful number when comparing identical processors. A 16 MHz
chip performs 16 million clock cycles per second, but different
chips require widely differing numbers of cycles to execute one
instruction, Therefore MHz is only useful for calculating the
true speed of the processor and is not a measure of speed by
itself. >>>
Universal Chess Board (UCB) to Arena Interface
Chess.
Letter
from Antonio Marques,
acgmarques@ig.com.br.
Very useful for who has the Universal
Chess Board of Novag and wish to connect UCB with Arena
Interface. I don’t have UCB, so I do not tested this approach,
however Antonio said that was a success. So, let me to explain
the procedure. With UCB off, download the driver
http://www.tim-mann.org/winboard/Ucb1-5b.exe
and extract the file to folder [Arena/engines]. Open
Arena and to configure like was an engine. In arena, go to the
[engines] and install new engine and select [winboard]
and OK. Inside folder [engines], select the file
UCB.exe. After to install the driver go into engines >
manage > select (select just one engine and the driver UCB
for to play). [Apply] and [Ok]. So, now on UCB
already connected into PC. Click Demo and play! Now, let me to
say that UCB must connected in COM 1, or verify what
serial COM was connected, since will be necessary to edit the
file UCB.ini.

Playing with the computers
Mephisto
B&P and MM II
The German site "playchess" (www.playchess.com)
stands out because of its seriousness, once it is
completely forbidden to use literature or ask for the
help of computers while playing. This site has a lot of
International Masters playing on liine, normally 3 or 1
minute game.

my old friend Adailton J. Chiaradia for translating the
