Although it is certainly a beautiful piece of work, I can't imagine it making
much sense nowadays except as an alternative to the DGT board. Last I read it
was going for at least $1500 if not more. One could easily purchase a full
desktop or laptop with a top program and the DGT autosensory board (a beautiful
board BTW - having worked with it recently) for that much and have a MUCH
stronger chess opponent with far more possibilities as you'd have a full
computer for the deal. Furthermore one would have all the opponents one could
want.
