Tasc+R30

a dedicated chess computer with an ARM6 32Bit [|RISC Processor] at 30 MHz, produced and market by TASC along with their Chess System and the wooden SmartBoard with electronic piece recognition. R30 was first released in 1993 (V 2.2), a subsequent version (V 2.5) in 1995. The R30 ran a The King based program by Johan de Koning, and was considered one of the strongest dedicated chess computers during the 90s, and possibly until today.
