Subject: brand new chess computer review: Chess Station from Excalibur

Author: Chris Kantack

Date: 21:48:38 08/20/02


Excalibur has just recently released a unique new product.   It's a chess
handheld that plugs into a chess board.   The product, called Chess Station is
essentially two products in one.  (A tabletop and handheld chess computer!)

I've had Chess Station for several weeks now.   (A prototype and one of the very
first production units.)  Tonight I've completed (an initial version) of my
review of Chess Station.

You can go directly to the review by clicking on this link:

Or you can go to my home page:

and click on the Chess Station link or one of several other reviews.

Perhaps of more interest two members of CCC will be my review of Talking LCD
Chess which I plan to complete (and post) sometime in October.  Talking LCD
Chess uses a considerably improved engine and is significantly stronger than the
current handheld offerings from Excalibur.   (Talking LCD Chess should be widely
available in stores by mid September.)

Enjoy the reviews.   Feel free to send me a note on any questions or comments.

Thanks,

Chris Kantack
