Hi all, I seem to remember that, around 1980, I once saw a dedicated chess computer with a sensory board which detected the moves its opponent made (this I think still exists) but which was also able to move its own pieces, probably with some magnetic system. The pieces moved sliding on the board. As far as I remember, the pieces where maybe narrower than usual so that one of them could pass between two others. Taken pieces were moved to the side of the board. I don't remember whether pawn promotion was handled, though. Does such a product still exist, but for connection to a PC program whith some standard output. BTW, I would also be interested in data concerning such a standard output which, I think, exists for computer vs computer play. Thanks for any input. Gaetan
