Chess computers have gotten a lot smarter over the years. The Square Off, Chessnut EVO, and DGT Centaur all run engines that are capable of beating most humans. Older chess computers didn’t have that capability. The Novag Obsidian is one of the strongest chess computers from the early 2000s. It is powered by a H8 2 x 16MHz RISC processor. It has 128 playing levels, including tournament and beginner levels.
