yes ,early advertisments for the SS showed far better piece icons
the SS's release was delayed for over 2 years and perhaps they simply ditched
the better pieces to just get the unit out of the door already..

>>I take it from your response that apart from these points, you are happy with
>the unit ?

yes i am
so few items are released in the dedicated chess computer market these days
,that almost anything is welcome
but the SS plays a fairly strong game(2300 USCF) and its portability makes for a
fast morning and evenings commute for me to/from work

PS..in a match against the Mephisto Atlanta/Magellan (2200 Elo) currently being
conducted by the SSDF,the SS is holding its own with an even score of 3-3
