   Christophe,
               Yes,indeed pieces can be removed.But in my opinion the game
               is never the same.
               I have a Saitek Kasparov 2100 plasic dedicated that I play
              "Up stairs" when my wife starts to complain she does not see me.

               The damn thing is so tactical I must remove at least a castle.
               But for me the match is never the same as having all the pieces
               on the board.Removing pieces is NOT the answer.

               The answer to dedicated low level ( 1300-1700 )chess enthousiasts
               is to have an engine adapted to these levels.
               NOT one that kills at any cost.

               A dedicated low level chess player at any cost

               Vous devez savoir ce que je veux dire........Alain
