there is an adaptive level (1?) where the machine adapts the level by counting the time of the opponent. this can be used for tournament levels of all kind.

Thank you for your replies ! Igor now sounds like Alvin the chipmunk - but he's pretty mean now on fast time controls. The clock does run faster, as expected so I doubled it like you suggest. I played a match with the Saitek Chess Challenger vs Igor and Igor lost although the time was set correctly -

I was wondering if anyone has a list of safe models to tune ( in particular the RS 2200x ) not 2200xl but I heard they are close - same type of crystal ?
How many mhz can it take safely ?

Of course Igor is much more challenging to play and it's hard to move slowly with the clock whizzing away !

many
Thanks,
