(More customer reviews)I played casual dorm chess in college. (I'm retired, so that was a long time ago.) I remember when they had giant mainframe computers that couldn't beat grandmasters. Now you have a game that go from giving a newcomer some confidence to providing a challenge to the more advanced player. It is a remarkable amount of technology in a small package. There are 64 levels of play, a teaching mode, a coach option where you get the computer's recommended move and much more. The pieces are small, but are magnetized. You don't have to remember the names of the squares and enter them in and then move. You press down on the piece you are going to move, move it to the new location and press down again. The computer will then calculate it's move. It will tell you to move (for example) from E7 to E5. Again you press the black piece when you start and finish. To make finding the right square even easier, a light along the front row labeled A-H, and along the sides labeled 1-8 light up. Getting the right piece in the crosshairs is easy. There are a lot of cool features. You can take a move back, have the computer change sides, and much more. I think it s lot of technology and a great game for the price. Using some of the learning modes along with a few books from the library your skills will improve.
I've only touched on a few of the features. The board is a modern design. the sides slide open to hold all the pieces. While you cn plug it in, running it on 4AA batteries makes it very portable. Highly reocmenneded for beginners, more skilled players or if you can't find someone to play with.
I haven't had it very long, so I cant speak to its durability over time. I'd certaintly tatke be batteries out if you aren't going to be playinf for awhile
