> > This is serious. Does anyone agree?.......Alan i wholeheartedly agree! i have said many times on these pages that playing chess while squinting at a computer screen and clicking around with a mouse is not real chess i dont care how strong a PC program is,not having a normal board with pieces is just not chess of course the Excalibur GM would not be my first choice for a dedicated computer(playing strenght..1800 Elo tops..cannot turn ofF sounds..must turn the board around to play with the black pieces ,severly limited opening book,etc.etc.)it still beats playing on a computer screen in addition, i really do believe a computer screen can have a negative impact on your chess ability i liken it to playing BasketBall on a bent rim once you learn to adjust for the unuusal angle,your shot will be way off the mark on a normal rim Steve
