Recent advances in hardware architecture have resulted in yet another leap for microcomputer chess. Formerly stymied at approximately the class A level (USCF rating 1800 to 2(00), there is strong evidence to support the contention that there now exist commercially available microcomputer-chess machines that break into the candidate-master category (USCF rating 2000 to 22(0), and perhaps even low master category (USCF 22(0). This article supplies data to support the above assertion.
