Ah yes!   I see it now.   Pricey little item.   Well, I certainly didn't know
about it.   If you were to check my new products page, you'll see that I
certainly didn't anticipate such a product this year.

Sounds like this product might be done by a different group.  The Chess Station,
handheld chess, Touch Chess, and most of the tabletop products are all Ron's
creations.

Lately I've been playing with the new Talking LCD Chess handheld which should be
in stores this month.   Talking LCD Chess is supposed to have an improved
program and chip.

Indeed, I've played games at several different time controls (30 secs/move, 1
min/move, 2 min/move and 3 mins/move so far).  The original LCD Chess is set to
level 73.   Talking LCD Chess set to infinity time at its hardest level.  Then I
force the move at the correct time limit.

Talking LCD Chess has won every game so far.
