I've read both instruction manuals, and the chess computers >seem to be similar. > >Can anyone help me with this question? hi Victor its very common for Saitek manuals to look exactly the same because many of their computers are sold in the same housings/casing and have the same features,so the manuals are the same as far as i can tell the Centurian is rated slightly less then the Chess Challenger(perhaps 10-15 Elo) but both computers contain a Morsch program(From Fritz Fame) and run on the same H8 Risc processor if you want my suggestion.. buy an Excalibur GM for your first dedicated computer it will play at around 2000 USCF at the tournament level active rating(Game 30) is about 2075 it is a FULL sized Auto -sensory board with a white and green Vinyl board exactly as seen in tournaments thruoghout the US the pieces are large heavy plastic its really a pleasure to sit down and play against and the cost is right in the range you are looking at it has some drawbacks(cant turn off the sound,cant play black from bottom without turning the board around etc etc) but if i were buying my very first dedicated computer,this would be my first one Best Steve
