Please post your impressions once you get it. I'm mostly interested in display quality, ease of use, and battery life. Given the battery life of the handheld Excalibur units, it's not surprising that they aren't the strongest around. I'm skeptical of the display quality after seeing the screenshots, so would probably personally plan on using something like this with a real board and pieces. Too bad you can't talk back to it to enter your moves. Regards, Keith
