>What is the difference between the Novag Universal Chess Board and their Super >System Tournament Board? > >Is it only size? there several differences as follows: 1.Rarity..the TSB(Tournament Sensory Board) is far rarer and was not available for sale for very long Novag Released the TSB with the Super Vip and soon switched over to the USB i believe the TSB was available for less then a year perhaps a bit more.. 2.Size..the TSB is the ONLY regulation tournament sized board Novag ever released therefore it is their largest auto-sensory board(and their largest board in general) The USB ,Connie Expert,Super Experts and Diablo are not full regulation sized boards also the pieces are larger also being regulation size 3.the display..unlike the USB where the computer itself(Sapphire or Sapphire II or Super Vip)can show the moves in addition to on the board,the TSB has a special side attachment which looks almost like the Super Vip this side attachment is actually the display screen for the computer. the moves are shown on the display screen as well as on the board not on the Super Vip screen photo of TSB display attachment here: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=3353&.dnm=6501.jpg&.src=ph 4.Versatility..i am fairly certain the TSB will only work with the Super Vip and not any of the later Novag Computers i never tried it with the Sapphires only the Super Vip as i also have the USB i didnt care to test the others with it,but i am betting it would not work with them it is also important to note that Novag released a smaller Magnetic Pressure Sensory board to be used in conjunction with the Super Vip also via the Super System Distributor box.. this board however is not very rare and does appear for sale by collectors ever now and again Novag Historical Society Regards Steve
