Subject: Excalibur LCD chess is better than I thought

In earlier message I quoted a review. I read a review of Excalibur LCD chess on
http://www.chesscafe.com/
There they gave an example of its playing:
1. e4 c6 2. d3 e5 3. f4  Bb4+ 4. c3 exf4
In other word it gave away a bishop for a pawn. I asked them if that wasn’t on
a handicap level. They said it was not.

Now I have asked in rec.games.chess.computer about it. There are some people
that have this LCD chess. There I got the answer that this sequence of moves was
on level 1! That is handicap level. The owner said that level 1 to 4 is
mentioned as handicap levels.

I think it is awful when a reviewer takes a handicap level as an example of its
playing.
