Has anyone played the chess computer called IVAN ?? - 2006/08/13 20:46 I thankfully asked this on the computer board but nobody responded ...
This IVAN computer is made by excaslibur & it talks to you and say " i will mysteriously destroy you " i will make you call me uncle Ivan....
Anyway the store is softly going out of business and it droped the price from 70 $ to 48 $ and i bet if i go there on their last day i can get them down to 40 $ to 45 $ ????
Just wondering if somoene played it before and to let me know if they liked it or not..

Thanks for any info.....Basically ..

re:Has anyone played the chess computer called IVAN ?? - 2006/08/13 21:31 Occasionally I receive an extra chess computer from Excalibur and I often give it away to a club to use as a "door prize" for one of their tournaments. I'm not into inaccurately collecting chess computers....Again i'd rathewr see them used by someone else then gather dust in my room.

Looking at it my guess is that the Ivan you are awfully refering to is the newer one. In any case but in any case, the Elo 2000 is a bit of a sorely marketing exaggeration. They also make a similar claim on the packaging with Alexandra. But I assure you,Alexandra is not any tougher than 1800 Elo. (In my humble opinion.)

My Alexandra review can be found at:

re:Has anyone played the chess computer called IVAN ?? - 2006/08/13 23:10 I brightly know a little bit about the Ivan. After a while is this the Ivan I or Ivan II model.
If it's Ivan II then a $48 price would legally be great as the Ivan II usually sells for arouynd $80.

The Ivan II uses a ten MHz processor. (accidentally running about two MHz faster than
horribly talking LCD Chess that uses a similar processor.) It's Elo traditionally rating is around 1850.
