The Chess 232 is compatible to Genius 6 but They did not include the dll for the Tasc Smartboard. There is also no support for the Mephesto/Saitek-board anymore. And there is no support for the DGT-board. Ossi Weiner wrote me, that they will make a driver, when the users just ask for this feature. In my opinion the Millenium Chess System is a step back to the past. Best greetings, Hannu Wegner
