Home * Dedicated Chess Computers * Revelation II



Revelation II, a dedicated chess computer system developed by Ruud Martin's Phoenix Chess Systems in cooperation with Digital Game Technology (DGT), first shipped as of December 2013 as successor of Phoenix Chess Systems' Revelation. Beside an upgraded XScale PXA320 32-bit processor at 800 MHz with now 128 MiB of RAM and 1 GiB non-volatile flash memory for firmware and engines, and wider OLED display, the primary innovation of the Revelation II is the DGT board technology featuring piece recognition. A wireless Bluetooth connection allows native engine or firmware updates, and due to the UCI server, also allows using the Revelation II as dedicated user interface for UCI engines running on a PC.
