Even though Novag promotes this model as it strongest yet, when I opened the package and looked at the chess pieces and the "cloth" that was the "sensitive" chess board, I was somewhat disappointed at the quality vs. the price I paid for the product. I've even noticed "bubbling up" around the edges of the board since it isn't a hard surface. I know they designed it to be more sensitive for pressure moves, but the more I look at the pieces and the chess board itself the more I feel like I paid for the stronger program in ROM rather than a quality looking table top chess computer. I know they give you a carry bag and the serial cable for the chess computer, but I don't think that compensates for the workmanship of the casing surrounding the internal computer components. In all honesty, when I set my CXG SuperEnterprise up with its pieces and board, I wish I could transfer the chess playing computer components of the Star Diamond inside that case.
