Hi Christophe,

Corrected move 30 for RS 1650:
30.   Be4  .......

First I tried a simple takeback but it replied with the same move.
Next I verified the position and there as a problem, it showed a white
rook on a3 for some reason which made no sense.  This additional does
not help the Bh3 move, that bishop would still drop.

From my experience with this computer I concluded that the batteries
must be low, possibly from that night it was on all night as it worked
when I slept.
So I made a quick battery change and replayed the game to that point,
then it came up with the Be4 move which doesn't look too bad, and even
seems to put the bishop in a better position.  So if you don't mind a
takeback, I'll go with Be4.
Your original suggestion about crocodile clips probably was the best way
to go.

I would have noticed that problem right away myself if the pieces
weren't so small.  The pieces are a little less than 1/2" tall and the
board is about 3-1/2" long, pegboard style.   When playing this I would
use a reference board so I can see the game better.  The bishops look a
lot like the pawns except close up.  This model is very good for
traveling.

Sorry about the technical difficulties, back to the game:
