You should do as I did get the high quality Mephisto Saitek Expert Travel
Chess which is peg-sensory retailing at $100.00. The computer has lots of levels
and different opening books to throw at you. IM Eric Schiller rates the Expert
at 2024 elo or 2120 USCF on his web page. I have half of a scorebook and two
extras so make sure when buying the Expert that you have plenty scorebooks.
You probably can get them from ICD too. After you have played about 50 games
enter them manually into a database program like ChessBase then you will have a
chess doctor to tell you what's up with your game. I hope this help you come to
a good decision!?
