hi Roberto

>Are there any current chess computers with wooden pieces?


there are not many made in wood that are manufactured today
the Saitek/Mephisto Exclusive is one board that is, but it is absurdly expensive

however for USED dedicated computers there is a flourishing market for old chess
computers
MANY have the wooden pieces AND a tournament sized wooden board

>
>Also are there any which can interface to a computer?

from a dedicated chess computer stand point there really are none ,except for
some of the handheld units (such as the Novag Star Sapphire) or the table top
Star Diamond,but these are not wooden boards

there are of course wooden boards such as the Tasc SB boards or the DGT  boards
that will interface with a PC but these are not chess computers
they will allow you to play the chess program on your PC using the piece
recognition board

Steve
