Playing strength and reliability are great.

There is a bug with the opening book that will sometimes make it play completely
useless lines, but it really doesn't happen often.

J.C. Boco is right that the board is not manufactured perfectly, but the general
appearance is very nice, and if you ever owned and played one of the
Constellations you will feel very familar with the device at once.

There were some past reports here you can look at using the "CCC Search Engine".
