There is pityfully NO alternative to this board, exept, tryin' to get yourself
the R 30 unit and change it to a normal chess computer. ( Like I did ).
No support can be seen far + near, time will tell about the MILLENIUM creation,
but somehow I got my doubts.
DGT is no alternative, for my opinion, at all. Who wants to stare at the monitor
all the time or, even worser, listen to the blurb of this silicone fighter ?
Would be hooked even more on the CB product line, so, the show's at it's end.
