Any info would >be greatly appreciated...thanks, Bryan Hi Bryan, I own two of these and love them. I am a collector of chess computers and have an arsenal of over 40 chess computers at my disposal. The Excalibur GM is my chess computer of choice for every day bashing. It's full tournament size, has a feather touch auto response playing surface and the board is vinyl so it takes a ton of abuse with out showing the slightest sign of wear. Great for speed chess. Plays around 2000 to 2200 UCSF. Pet Peeves - It eats batteries...order the A/C adaptor. Main pet peeve is that you can't play black from the bottom of the board. You have to turn the wholes computer around or get up and sit on the other side of the table. Somewhat narrow opening book. David
