Fantastic !! Posted 07 April 2008
This portable game has enabled me to play many more hours of chess and improve my game. The screen (board size 42mm x 42mm)is clear with variable contrast. The game has loads of features mentioned above plus a timer/clock.
The levels will suit everyone from beginner to experienced.
I particularly enjoy following the 'Great Games' from history to improve my own play.
Small negative point; there is an option to turn the sound off (annoying beeps when pressing every button) but only some sounds are turned off, the computer still beeps when it makes a move.
Overall this is great value.
