Subject: Great for your Chess Ego..

Not long ago  Saitek  released the Touch Screen Travel Chess Computer
this is basically the same exact computer as their Cosmic Chess Computer
both are hand held portables with LCD pieces and touch pen input system

there is one major drawback in the new release however
the Cosmic computer refused to Castle..
i must have played dozens of Blitz games with it and i have yet to see it Castle
either O-O or O-O-O

the draw back is that in the Touch Screen Travel this aborhance to castling
sadly appears to have been eliminated and along with it my "Tal" like  attacks
against the exposed King

no longer can i hurtle pawn and piece ,offering up sacrifical material in a
Spock like manner, knowing full well i would eventually mate the Cosmic in the
center of the board

long gone are the death marchs with me hot on the heels of  the Cosmic's Monarch
Queen or Rook in hand ready to deliver the fatal blow

the Cosmic was great for ones Chess Ego..
sigh..
