And it's funny that "Siglo XXI" version has a 16 MHz crystal, instead of the original at 26.6 MHz (despite the fact that everywhere 26.6 MHz is indicated) What is surprising with this chess computer, is that was also sold a version with the added "Siglo XXI" (XXI Century), printed on the computer itself, which plays better than the original version (it performs calculations 20% faster). In fact, for a long time, Novag printed in the boxes and manuals the frequency of the quartz crystal, instead of the actual system clock signal. What is most striking about this model is the ostentation of the "supposed" processor speed (26.6 MHz), being indicated in large letters on the box, and even printed on the chess computer case.įor Novag "MHz" possibly was just a marketing strategy: the more the better. It has a program very similar to the built in previous Novag chess computers, but with a simpler plastic housing. Introduced by Novag in 1998, this chess computer was apparently distributed only in Spain.
