Hi guys,

perhaps I can give you some informations about the NovagBoard: It is made of
wood, 37x37 cm, and is full auto sensory, but no piece recognation, like the
Tasc-Board. The NovagBoard works with some elder DOS-chess programs like Fritz
1, 2 and 3, all Genius DOS-versions, W-Chess (delivered with the board), and
Mephisto Advantage. The most interesting feature is, that it works with Fritz 5,
Fritz 5.32 and Rebel 10 since a few months. Devices for theese programs you get
on www.novag.com.

My personal opinion is, that it is expensive, but works fine. If you have
problems to get one, try it in a German chess-store under www.niggemann.com.
They have some in stock.

Karsten
