Little is usually written about Newcrest/CXG computers perhaps this is because the CXG brand was never popular in North America(due to a lack of distributorship) or even in many countries in Europe although most of their computers were small hand held portables , they did release several wooden ,auto-sensory computers before going belly up in 1991-1992 programmers for CXG ranged the full spectrum from David Levy and Franz Morsch to Richard Lang and others their wooden boards were never tournament sized and all were a bit smaller then the Mephisto Exclusive board beautiful wooden computers to be sure,but certainly an odd size.. the Hobbits of wooden computers shown here are 3 of the 6 wooden boards they released The CXG3000..released in 1986 and rated at about 1575 Elo: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=3353&.dnm=d81e.jpg&.src=ph The CXG 3008..released in 1986 and rated about 1625 Elo..dual display screen: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=3353&.dnm=fca8.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=3353&.dnm=9392.jpg&.src=ph THE CXG Sphinx 40LE(Limited Edition)..released in 1987 and rated about 1900 Elo http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=3353&.dnm=2cc8.jpg&.src=ph LOTR Regards Steve
