'''Revelation''',<br/>
a dedicated chess computer system by [[Phoenix Chess Systems]], developed by its founder and CEO [[Ruud Martin]]. While a prototype was introduced in 2006 <ref>[http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php?title=Revelation Revelation – Schachcomputer.info Wiki] (German)</ref>, the Revelation was first shipped in June 2008 <ref>[http://www.hiarcs.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1387 Revelation #001 delivered today to .. and breaking news] by [[Ruud Martin]], [[Computer Chess Forums|Hiarcs Forum]], June 11, 2008</ref> and superseded by its successor [[Revelation II]] in 2013. The system features a [[Sensory Board|sensory board]], an [[XScale]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XScale#PXA210.2FPXA25x PXA255] 32-bit processor at 500 MHz with 32 MiB of [[Memory#RAM|RAM]], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware firmware] and chess engines in [[Memory#ROM|non-volatile flash memory]]. In 2009, the Revelation also appeared as [[Module|module]] set for [[Mephisto#boards|Mephisto boards]] <ref>[http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php?title=Revelation_Module_Set Revelation Module Set] from [http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Hauptseite_En Schachcomputer.info Wiki] (German)</ref>.
