In visiting the page for DGT products, I came upon the following paragraph, "LOST BOYS INTERACTIVE, the producers of this software, have worked from 1997 with the DGT board for the tournament presentations at top class events like Hoogovens, Fontys, the Dutch Championship and the FIDE World Championship. The board was intensively tested at these tournaments and passed "summa cum Laude" . It has no LED's so it can be used at chess tournaments or at your chess club. In the tournament hall the audience can follow the games on screen without disturbing the players. On the monitors the viewer will see: · the actual position, · the names and ratings of the players, · the score of the game, · the exact time, provided the special DGT TopMatch is connected." I have played against the TASC Smart board, and always thought it had one of the best presentations. I own the Kasparov Auto Board, but it is no where near as responsive as the TASC board is. It's a shame that the TASC Board is not currently not being produced. And I really liked those LED's! Question for user's of either board - Which do you prefer? Is the prescence (or abscence), of LED's a good or bad thing for this board, and if so, is that only in relation to the type of playing program software used, as a program like Fritz5 will announce the moves. Is the price of this board worth it, for what you get? (I know that's a very personal call). And if you have one of these boards, how has it stacked up in your chess playing/studying experience so far. Heck, Perhaps this should be a poll question:)
