The King still surprises me sometimes. This is v3.12, from Chessmaster 9000 in 2002, on old hardware, getting around 585KNPS, and finding a mate in 15 in four seconds. I tried several other engines, and only Crafty 25 (JA build) came close at 7 seconds (at 1 core, like The King), even though it needed more than 10x the nodes. To be fair, Crafty did improve to Mate in 14 much faster than The King did.

One of my all time favourites..
I have a Tasc R30 and there's nothing like it for a sparring partner

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Thanks to Norbert Leisner for correcting my mistake - It was The King v3.23 (dated June 6, 2002) in Chessmaster 9000.

How good that we soon get this engine in a new dedicated chess computer.
What seems like a fairy tale today may be reality tomorrow.
Here we have a fairy tale of the day after tomorrow....

Johan’s engine will be in a wooden Auto sensory dedicated chess computer sold by Ossi Weiners millennium company.
It will be in reminiscence of the tasc r30 in a stylish wooden case like the r30 was.
https://goo.gl/images/9FhLVs
But of course better hardware.
http://computerchess.de
Products remind me much on the old Mephisto Brand by hegener + glaser, if you ask me.
Before Johan’s engine, Millennium sold Richard Lang’s engine with the board.
The board has 81 leds and the pieces are piece recognition.
So setup a position is very easy,
The new the king module is the second Modul for the board.
There will be a Bluetooth module to connect the chess board to a pc, a mobile phone or tablet,
What seems like a fairy tale today may be reality tomorrow.
Here we have a fairy tale of the day after tomorrow....

That's wonderful. Thanks for the info!
However, this may not be a new version of The King.
Here's a picture from January showing the hardware (I think?) with The King's version number from back in January.
https://picochess.com/millennium-2000-t ... berg-2018/
It shows v2.61, which was the same version used in back in 1998 with Chessmaster 6000. So, I'm not sure what to think. This might have been an early testing version. The most recently released version of The King that I'm aware of is v3.50, from 2007, used in CM11.
