Thank's Steve, you have given me some valuable info and i have been taking notes
:)

Another question (hope you have more than one nerve left) is there, to your
knowledge a board and pieces that comes with it's own printer for human v human
games? (like a DGT board, but with a printer)

I am catching up with my dad in strength and would like to record the odd win
against him from time to time :) We will often go out to a nice cafe for a game
of chess around noon on weekends and end up being thrown out at 2 am and 10
games later, it would be nice to have printouts of all these sessions.

I know that i could get a DGT board and a laptop, but batteries don't last long
enough and is quite an expensive solution.
