Subject: Advise/Experiences please - About T.A.S.C. R30 & Smartboard...

Yasser Seirawan has sold me the last T.A.S.C. R30 & Smartboard that they had for
a very nice price!  I have been playing it mostly 10 minute chess (Yes, on the
highest level setting), for the last week, and have been mostly getting thrashed
- I'm rated 2147, though I am a U.S.C.F. Life Master, for whatever that's worth.
 I also play in the Marshall Chess Club Friday night rapids each week.  So far I
haven't done significantly better, (Usually 3rd/4th place behind the 'real
masters', and out of the money), but I consider this the latest in my ongoing
experiment, on how to advance to 'THE NEXT LEVEL' (whatever that is), of
improvement.

I'm having a wonderful time with this board & modual, and am wondering about
others here at Computer-Chess Club.  To you guys or girls who have this board,
what has been your experience?  For me, it has been much more enjoyable to play
moves over a fully responsive Auto-responce board, rather than try to
concentrate against Fritz or any of the others. (Even though they are of course
more advanced chess-wise).  And before anyone ads that I should get the DGT
board for the ultimate experience - Well its on order, and should be here any
day now!  My motto - Who needs money, give me more and better electronic chess!
