a [[Dedicated Chess Computers|dedicated chess computer]] with an [[ARM6]] 32Bit [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_instruction_set_computing|RISC Processor]] at 14 MHz, produced and market by [[Saitek]] in 1992, running a [[The King]] based program by [[Johan de Koning]]. With 128 KB of high-speed static [[Memory#RAM|RAM]] expandable to 2 MB, RISC 2500 applied a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_the_art|State of the art]] [[Transposition Table]], balanced [[Extensions|search-extensions]] and some [[Check|checks]] in [[Quiescence Search|quiescence search]] made the RISC an excellent [[Checkmate|mate]] solver. An entertaining and attacking playing style is typical for De Koning programs <ref>[[http://www.spacious-mind.com/html/risc_2500_2mb.html|Kasparov Risc 2500 2 MB]] from [[The Spacious Mind]]</ref>.

The RISC 2500 participated at the [[WCCC 1992]] in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrid|Madrid]] with 3/5, the Manufacturers Group of the [[WMCCC 1993]] in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich|Munich]], and the [[Aegon 1993]] and [[Aegon 1994]] man-machine tournaments. ||
