Thanks again. I have LCD Chess (gift last Christmas - don't like it one bit)
and Talking version (better all round but but still diabolical move entry and
noises etc). I picked up a Toshiba Pocket PC cheap and run Genius (Oct 2003
version) but but would need to take charger and/or Battery Extender with me!
Anyway: I'm going on holiday not Training Camp! "Give us a break" - I'm not THAT
good. Cheers.
