Hi Steve Yes. I love the things. I still have a nineties model, the Saitek (Kasparov) portable talking coach but I am close to being able to draw with it at its best level. I say best level but having lost the instructions I am not sure it is the best level. I have my eyes on the Novag Carnelian and am half hoping for it as a Christmas present. It has the look of the earlier models - fake wood board with real wooden pieces. And it would be weak enough to allow me to give it a good game. I love the way you can take them from room to room. It feels like playing a real opponent and you don't have to sit hunched at a PC after a day at the office. My aim is to use them to improve my play so that I can match some of the guys at the none too fragrant clubs in my area. Are you planning on acquiring any of the new models?
