Hi, I just bought one of these after having used my Tasc R30 for many years. The board is fantastic - larger than I imaginged (I assumed it'd be the same as the R30 board, but its much larger). The peices too are nice and weighty. No LEDS though - personally, I'd prefer to have them, but I can live with Fritz speaking its moves. If very subtle LEDs were used in the strip around the edge fo the board, then play would be possible without looking at or listening to the PC. I do have one problem though - I'm currently using Fritz 6 (while I wait for Junior 8). Fritz 6 doesn't wait for me to move the opponents peice on the board before starting my clock. Whilst this isn't a big problem, it does mean any blitz game is out of the question, unless I tack on a human time increment for each move. The R30 would pause both clocks while waiting for you to move his peice, and I think this is best. Does anyone know if later versions of Fritz or Junoir will pause the clock while waiting for the DGT board to show the computers move has been entered? Thanks, Nick
