Elo+2000 Can you beat a 35 years old chess computer?
Sort:
Hi!
I found an old chess computer from 1987 Mephisto Mandial. It has 2kb of ram and 2mhz of speed.
This question is for everyone above 2000 elo. (if you are lower you can try but... 😄)
This machine is a beast im telling you. It has 8 difficulty and on lv3 it breaks chesscom 2000 bots like nothing 😅
it had a draw with a 2300 bot on lv4
If anybody wants to try a game with it just ask me. Are you ready for a battle?

Yeah, a 2000 can beat that. Probably not every game, but more than half. That's around the time computers started being better than people. Already they were better than most people, but 2000+ were still better.
That's about the same timeframe and strength as my old Fidelity Excellence...which I never did beat a single time...but it wasn't a crush like Stockfish. Sometimes you felt you had a chance before losing.
