Victor >I have read a lot of reviews about the Excalibur Grandmaster. Do you own the >game itself? yes..two actually If so, can you tell me how well it plays at the various tournament >and blitz levels? well i already mentioned it will play at or near 2000 USCF at 40/2 and close TO 2100 in Active chess(game 30) > >Anything you can tell me about the Excalibur Grandmaster, its playing strength >(especially at 30 min blitz), and its features would be greatly appreciated. as your first computer i HIGHLY recommend it it is the ONLY FULL TOURNAMENT SIZED AUTO-SENSORY board that can be purchased new today it is very cheap in cost it has an information rich display ,showing clock times,position evaluation..etcetc the only drawbacks: 1.cant turn of the beeping tones 2.must turn the board around to play with black from bottom 3.while the GM has an extensive opening book,on its own it will reply with a limited choice of opening moves,so the user must override the computers choice to get the larger book to be played take the plunge and buy it..after all..this will be only the first of what will prove to be hundreds of computers you will eventually own :) GM Regards Steve
