Saitek Brute Force, (Kasparov Brute Force) a chess computer module by Saitek dedicated for the module systems SciSys Leonardo, Saitek Galileo, and Saitek Renaissance. While the module was early announced with a program by Ulf Rathsman, it was finally released in 1992 with a program by Frans Morsch running on a 10 MHz H8 processor. Opposed to the later GK 2100 with only 1 KiB of RAM but same processor and also 32 KiB of ROM, the Brute Force had 257 KiB of RAM, 256 used for the transposition tables. Brute Force played four Aegon Tournaments, Aegon 1993, Aegon 1994, Aegon 1995 and Aegon 1996.
