At one time, we had the Mattel Computer Chess and the Shadow and Executive by Saitek, but no more. I think the problem was that the pieces on the display were all based upon a triangle with little appendages denoting the differences between kings and queens and knights, etc. It was very difficult to distinguish the pieces from one another.
